内 容 摘 要

改革开放以来，中国与世界各国的交流日趋频繁。政府外宣材料，作为中国对外宣传的一种不可或缺的手段，在加深外界对中国的了解方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。在中国，一些较为权威的英文报刊杂志如《中国日报》、《今日中国》等，以及官方白皮书、政府工作报告、公开发表的社论评论、领导人的讲话等官方文本对于提升中国的形象做出了很大的贡献。
然而在现阶段，中国政府外宣资料的翻译还存在这一些问题，其目的和功能并没有得到最大限度的发挥。其中，中式英语这一问题尤为明显，以至于给译语受众造成了误解，大大降低了文本可读性。只有改变外国受众对中国外宣资料的冗长拖沓的印象，才能增加文本的可读性，从而实现向世界宣传中国的目的。本文以德国的功能学派中的目的论为理论框架，提出了中国政府外宣资料英译存在的问题，并对政府外宣翻译的策略和技巧进行分析和讨论。
