Ⅰ. Introduction
With the rapid development of tourism, tourism culture is playing an increasingly important role. Though we have many successful e*amples in translating tourist materials, there are still some problems in this area and it needs some improvements. In this paper, the author first translates te*ts of Quanzhou local operas into English, and then discusses the language characteristics of the te*ts of tourism culture, principles of the translation of the te*ts of tourism culture and difficulties in translating the te*ts, from Chinese into English, and at last suggests the appropriate methods and strategies to translate such tourism te*ts.
As a student majoring in English, the author has learnt many translation theories in the past four years in college. However, the author hasn’t put much English into practice. In order to master the theories well, the author thinks it is necessary to apply them to actual te*t. In this paper, the translation methods and strategies applied are discussed by the analysis of some e*amples from the source te*t to show the close relationship between the theories and the application of translation.
As far as the author can see, there are few people translating Quanzhou opera culture now. There are some technical terms and comple* sentence structures in the materials, which are good for translation practice.
