Social entrepreneurship is a new form of business model,which is increasingly popular in the global community since the 1990 s.Providing social ventures with many merits,it makes up the deficiency in government and commercial business.Many developed counties put more emphasis on the entrepreneurship and make full use of it to promote the economic development.However,social entrepreneurship in China is still in its starting stage,so this report has practical significance and social value to some degree.The translation report is excerpted from Chapter 1 and 2 of Creating the Social Venture,which is published by Routledge in 2016 and co-authored by Susan Coleman and Dafna Kariv.There is no formal published version of Chinese.This book mainly focuses on the characteristics and types of the social entrepreneurship and key factors that affect the development of it,as well as how to efficiently manage and operate social ventures.The translator adopts Newmark’s translation theories as the guidance,which mainly includes the text type,communicative translation and semantic translation.With the guidance of these theories,the difficulties that the translator encountered in translating have been properly dealt with.The translator selects some examples appearing in the source text to analyze what translation methods should be used from lexical level,syntactic level and textual level.At the lexical level,the translator adopts conversion,amplification and literal translation.At the syntactic level,the translator chooses such methods like the transformation of the voice,linear translation,inversion,division and synthetic translation.At the textual level,the translator pays great emphasis on the cohesion and coherence of the translation.Finally,the translator summarizes this practice at the end of the report and points out her findings and shortcomings,hoping that the target text draws the attention of domestic scholars and entrepreneurs provides the reference for the translation of this type of text.
