在外宣翻译过程中由于文化空缺的出现经常会引发很多翻译过程中的问题。仅从语言层面理解,翻译属于语言之间的转换活动,然而它不只是一项纯粹的语言转化活动。实际的翻译活动需要涉及到各种不同的非语言文化因素,外宣翻译过程也是如此。由此而引发的翻译难点在外宣翻译活动中体现得尤其明显,即文化空缺导致的翻译困难。 In the course of propaganda and translatioin, many problems in the translation process often arise due to the appearance of cultural vacancies. Only understood from the linguistic level, translation is a translational activity between languages, yet it is more than a purely linguistic conversion activity. The actual translation activities need to involve a variety of non-linguistic and cultural factors, as is the process of outreach and translation. The resulting translation difficulties are particularly evident in the translation activities of foreign propaganda, namely, the translation difficulties caused by cultural vacancies.
