Comparison Study on Vocational College Web Profiles from the Perspective of Functionalist Translation Theory
Abstract
Within the framework of German Functionalism (Skopos theorie), this paper attempts to make a comparative analysis of the “college profile” on the websites of both Chinese and western vocational education providers by bringing the referential role of parallel texts into full play, so as to improve the quality of the English translation of college web profiles and ensure the accuracy of information transmission, and achieve the goal of communication.References
