A Study On The C-E Translation Of Webpage Profiles Of Zhejiang Universities From The Perspective Of Functional Translation Theory

With the rapid development of globalization, international academic exchange and cooperation are increasingly strengthened. Today, most Chinese universities have provided English webpage profiles to draw more attention from oversea students, foreign scholars or academic institutions. University webpage profile, as the core of the whole webpage, plays a significant role in attracting foreign academic exchange and cooperation programs.Relying on its excellent location and prosperous economy, Zhejiang province has generated many famous universities. In recent years, these universities have already made great achievements in international academic exchange and cooperation. But there still exist some errors in the C-E translation of their webpage profiles.The author chooses webpage profiles of20Zhejiang universities as samples, and meanwhile employs webpage profiles of10famous American universities and10famous British universities as parallel texts to conduct this study under the guidance of Functional Translation Theory. The study indicates that translation errors in the webpage profiles of Zhejiang universities can be classified into four types, namely: pragmatic translation errors, cultural translation errors, linguistic translation errors and textual translation errors. Through analysis of these errors, the author works out some countermeasures including addition and amplification, deletion and simplification, rewriting, reconstructing text structure and improving information accuracy to correct these errors in hope to improve the quality of webpage profiles of Zhejiang universities.
