I. Introduction
Tourism is the world’s largest service industry in today’s culture. China is a vast land, which has a long history. At present, tourism in China has greatly expanded over the last few decades since the beginning of reform and opening. The emergence of a newly rich middle class and an easing of restrictions on movement by the Chinese authorities are both fueling this travel boom. China has become one of the world hottest tourism markets. The world is on the cusp of a sustained Chinese tourism boom. According to the World Tourism Organization in 2020, China will become the largest tourism destination and the fourth largest exporter of tourism (Zhu 3).This can be achieved by a final decision of a number of factors. But there is no doubt that the quality of the translation of the text will play a very important role and influence the development of tourism. It is difficult to translate Chinese tourism texts because of the English words and huge cultural differences. With the development of Chinese tourism industry, tourism will become an important part of the development strategy. So the Chinese tourism texts translation is the priority among priorities. And the aims are to transmit the cultural information to visitors. It will attract more tourists and let the world understand China. The quality of Chinese tourism texts into English is related to advocating and enhancing the image of Chinese tourism attractions. It is related to the ability to attract more potential visitors. It is beneficial for the foreign visitors to understand the cultural heritage of Chinese tourism landscape, which is a main task for tourism texts translators. The paper will analyzes English translation of Chinese tourism texts from the perspective of text typology theory which is made by German scholar Katharina Reiss and British scholar Peter Newmark. According to text typology theory, there is no single absolute translation strategy, which can guide all translation activities. The core of text typology theory in translation studies is that different types of texts require different translation strategies. This paper intends to bring forward some translation strategies on C-E tourism translation from the perspective of text typology theory. The popular translation theorist, Eugene Nida, once said: “In any translation there will be a type of semantic content, but the process should be so designed as to keep this to a minimum”.
