A Report On The C-E Translation Of Labor Outsourcing Service Contract

Labor Outsourcing Service Contract is the contract signed between employees and labor service company and the contract signed between employees’ company and the labor outsourced company. The labor relation involves three parties:the employee, the outsourced company and the service company. With the increasingly deeper development of economic globalization, enterprises in China and other countries around the world are engaging in international business transactions more and more frequently. As is known to all, signing business contracts constitutes a crucial part of the international business activities between enterprises. Therefore, it’s easy to understand why enterprises around the world place more emphasis on the translation of business contracts than ever before. However, some common mistakes often occur in the translation of business contracts. These common mistakes not only undermine the legality of the business contracts, but they are also a source of legal loopholes that have the potential to cause disputes that will be a huge financial burden to either party involved.The author of the thesis starts with introducing the barriers towards the proper translation of Chinese business contracts into English, such as, the translation of legal words, phrases and sentences, in hope of laying a theoretical foundation for the case analysis to be covered below. After that, the author bases the study on the problems in translation process and related translation strategies by the methods of literal translation, addition and so on. In the final analysis, the author makes a thorough summary of the whole thesis and draw plausible conclusions from it. At the final part, the author tries to summarize the experiences of translation practice, so as to shed some light on contract translation from Chinese to English.
