Rationale of the study Nowadays economic cooperation among different countries in the world is increasing. In Vietnam, thanks to the open-door policy and the renovation process, we have witnessed great changes and progresses in various fields such as economy, politics, science and technology. We have established economic relations with a lot of countries in the world. Successful economic cooperation requires many factors , of which the heart of business success lies in its marketing.
Most aspects of business depend on successful marketing. For a business to succeed, the product or service it provides must be known to potential buyers. Unless business is known in the community and have communication with customers readily available, we have to use marketing strategies to create product or service awareness. Without marketing, our potential customers may never be aware of business offerings and our business may not be given the opportunity to progress and succeed.
Using marketing to promote product, service and company provides business with a chance of being discovered by prospective customers. So, what you need to do is always to collect unique news, ideas or optimized methods for business. To get access to the information above, the foreign information will be the best option, because they always follow the trend and know how to introduce new things. But language barriers will make learning more difficult, especially Marketing terms.
I hope that this research helps Vietnamese learners to overcome trouble in translating Marketing terms. Aims of the study This graduation is studied to help learners widen their knowledge of Maketing terms and could have general understaning about translating these terms from English into Vietnamese. My study focuses on: 1. Introducing theoretical background of translation.
Giving clear and detailed methods of translating Marketing terms so as to find out the effective ways in translation. Scope of the study Marketing terms lie in a system of English for specific purposes (ESP) of English for Business and economics. To translate and study these terms, it requires the learners to invest a great volume of time. However, due to the limitation of time and knowledge of Marketing, I do not afford to find out this them completely.
I only focus on studying on translating of Marketing terms by referring terms related to Marketing, its concepts and its equivalence meaning in Vietnamese. I hope that this study partly provides readers with overall comprehension about translating terms related to Marketing and helps Vietnamese learners to translate it effectively. Method of the study In order to fulfill the study, the following methods are fully employed. All of the English-Vietnamese terms used in this study are collected from Marketing terms dictionaries, internet, and Marketing books which give illustrations to help readers have better understanding about Marketing field.
Besides, discussion with my supervisor and friends works effectively helping me complete this study. These data are divided into groups based on their common character, and then I carry out my research on procedures used to translate them into Vietnamese. I hope that this study helps learners deal with the proplem of translating Marketing terms. Design of the study The study is divided into three parts of which the second part is the most important.
Part I is INTRODUCTION in which rationale, aim of the study, method of the study and design of the study are presented. Part II is DEVELOPMENT that includes three chapters: Chapter 1 is an overview of theoretical background which includes the definition, methods, procedures of translation in general and ESP translation, and definition of term. Chapter 2 is an investigation into English-Vietnamese translation of Marketing terms and their Vietnamese equivalents including popular construction of Marketing term , popular methods applied in the translation of Marketing terms, and difficulties in translating marketing terms and suggested solutions Chapter 3 is about main findings Part III is CONCLUSION that indicates strengths and weaknesses of the study as well as some suggestions for further research. 7 PART II: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND I.
Definitions of translation The significance of translation in our daily life is extensively multidimensional. Not only does translation pave the way forward for global interaction, but allows nations to forge interactive relationships when it comes to making advancements in technology, politics, etc. Awarenese of translation importance, many writers has written about the definitions of translation.The following shows typical concepts that are theoretical background. “Translation is the expression in another language (target language) of what has been expressed in one language (source language), preserving semantic and stylistic equivalencies” (Bell R T,1991) “Translation is an operation performed on languages: a process of substituting a text in one langugage for a text in another” (Catford, J 1965) “Translation is to be understood as the process whereby a message expressed in a specific source language is linguistically transformed in order to be understood by readers of the target language ” (Houbert,1998) “Translation is basically a change of form (change from one state or form to another, to turn into one’s own or another language)” (Merriam-Webster dictionary, 1974) “It is rendering the meaning of the text into anther language in the way that author intended the text” (P.New Mark, 1981) Definitions of translation are numerous, and a great numbers of books and articles have been written about this subject.
It is said that all above definitions also show that translation consists of transferring the meaning of the source language into the receptor language. Types of translation The world of translation is a vast and varied one. There are different translation techniques, diverse theories about translation and eight different translation services types: word-for-word translation, literal translation, faithful translation, semantic translation, adaptation, free translation, idiomatic translation and communicative translation (P. Word for word translation The method of translation in which the SL (Source language) word order is preserved and the words translated singly by their most common meanings.
Cultural words are translated literally. The main use of this method is either to understand the mechanics of the source language or to construe a difficult text as pre -translation process.g: There is a book on the table. In Vietnamese: Có một cuốn sách ở trên bàn. Literal translation This is a broader form of translation, each SL word has a corresponding TL (target language) word, but their primary meaning may differ.
The SL grammatical forms are converted to their nearest target language equivalents. However, the lexical words are again translated out of context. Literal translation is considered the basic translation step, both in communication and semantic translation, in that translation starts from there. As pretranslation process, it indicates problems to be solved.g: This programe is sponsored by Walls.
In Vietnamese: Chương trình này do hãng Walls tài trợ 3. Faithfull translation It attempts to reproduce the precise contextual meaning of the original within the constraints of the TL grammatical structures.
