Features: Interaction between theory and practice is a necessary condition for the healthy development of the translation industry. In this regard, there are two good trends worth noting. One is that with the rapid growth of new generations of translators, translation teachers, translation researchers, and the expansion of the translation discipline, as well as the emergence of numerous translation academic journals, the publication of academic papers and monographs, especially due to the credibility and usefulness of translation studies research, the voices of "translation without theory" and "translation theory is useless" have become less prominent, except in rare cases. Based on the fundamental principles of modern linguistics and translation studies, the author summarizes and analyzes the experiences of translation workers at home and abroad, combining long-term translation practice, to explore the theoretical and practical issues of business English translation. The book proposes principles and standards for business translation, discusses basic and special methods of business translation, practical aspects of business translation, and provides a systematic study of business translation. It explores the principles, basic methods, and special methods of business translation, discusses how to handle specific issues from the perspective of the four fundamental characteristics of business translation, and preliminarily establishes a theoretical system for business translation. The book is rich in examples, rigorous in argumentation, and offers unique insights, making it suitable as a textbook and self-study reference for translators, foreign language professionals, and students and teachers of institutions of higher learning. The content of the book includes Preface, Introduction, The Qualification of Business Translators, Principles of Business Translation, Methods of Business Translation, The Public Relations Aspect of Business Translation, The Scientific Aspect of Business Translation, The Instantaneous Aspect of Business Translation, The Social Aspect of Business Translation, and Main References.
