Abstract

With the help of Nord’s model for translation-oriented text analysis, the author finds out how the Chinese and English product introductions of alcoholic drinks differ after conducting the analysis of the intratextual and extratextual factors in the Chinese product introductions and the parallel English product introductions. On the one hand, the Skopostheorie guides the assessment, from an overall point of view, of the English versions of the Chinese product introductions; the findings in the text analysis of both Chinese and English product introductions of alcoholic drinks, on the other, stands as the framework of reference against which a large part of the assessment is done. Improvements of the poor translation are accordingly suggested in light of the functionalist approaches.
