Abstract

This paper endeavors to analyze the guiding role functional equivalence can play in legal translation. By introducing the features of legal English, related translation theories and the principles of legal translation, it points out functional equivalence can be an important guidance to legal translation. Then it introduces the theory comprehensively and analyses how to apply the theory to legal translation by providing practical and plentiful examples in terms of vocabulary, long and complex sentences and passive voices. Finally this paper makes a conclusion on the qualifications that legal translators should possess as well as the principles and criterion of legal translation in order to help translators to refine their works.

1 Introduction 

As China is further opening up to the world, its relations with foreign countries are becoming closer. The study of legal English, especially legal translation, will promote the success of our communications, cooperation and transactions with foreign countries. Legal English is characterized by its complicated linguistic structures, which often contain many modifiers in a single sentence. Therefore, legal translation between Chinese and English is a difficult task. 

“Legal translation is both a legal transfer and a language transfer process.” (Lu Min, 2007:45) Therefore, it has to faithfully preserve the meaning of the source language, to avoid the ambiguity and to maintain the integrity of legal provisions. Due to its unique features, for years translators are searching for an appropriate theory to guide legal translation, however, consensus still cannot be reached.  功能对等理论在法律英语翻译中的应用:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_75935.html
