AbstractSinceChina has made rapid advances in strengthening its cooperation with overseas universities, golden opportunities are offered for students both in and outside China to pursue their further education as exchange students, which in turn indicates China’s aspiration of making its universities more competitive and involving in more international co-operations. Thus, universityprofile, as a window to the outside world, plays a vital role in strengthening a university’s international prestige. Peter Newmark,the distinguished translation theorist in England, mainly divides text into three types in terms of the language functions of the source text, they are: informative, expressive and vocative texts.This paper, by resorting to comparative analyses, discusses the stylisticdistinctionsamong three representative university profiles on their official websitesin Gansu Province and two university profiles’ parallel texts in English-speaking countries.Through this research, it can befound thatmost texts of the university profiles belong to the informative text and vocative text,with moderate expressive text displayed.Thus, in translating universityprofile, translators must begin with confirming the text type from the source text and study target culture and then choose the proper functions to correspondwith them.This paper tries tooffer some translation strategies under guide of the text type theory in translating universityprofile.Key words:university profile; text typetheory; translation strategies摘要随着中国高校与国外大学合作的加强，越来越多的中国学生走出国门到海外留学。同时，国内的许多大学也纷纷迎来了外国留学生，这都表明中国的高校正在走向国际化。因此，作为高校对外宣传窗口的大学英文简介发挥了越来越重要的作用。英国当代著名翻译理论家彼特·纽马克将文本类型划分为三大类，分别为信息型文本﹑表达型文本﹑和呼唤型文本。本文通过对三所代表性高校官方简介的英文译本和两所英语国家大学简介的平行文本进行对比分析，作者发现大多数高校简介属于信息型文本和呼唤型文本，而表达型文本较少。因此在翻译过程中，译者首先需要确定原文的文本类型，然后考察目的语读者的文化，之后研究其对应的翻译策略，最后实现文本的交际功能。鉴于此，本文力求在纽马克文本类型理论指导下为高校简介的英译提供一些翻译策略。关键词：高校简介；文本类型理论；翻译策略ContentsAbstractI摘要II1 Introduction12 A Review of the Studies on the Translation of University Profile13 Peter Newmar
