编译在北京酒店简介英译中的应用——基于功能翻译理论的中期报告 Abstract This report focuses on the application of the function-based translation theory in the translation of the introduction of a Beijing hotel from Chinese to English. The report starts with a brief introduction of the function-based translation theory, explaining its principles and its practical application in the translation industry. Following that, we present an analysis of the source text (ST) and target text (TT), highlighting problems encountered during the translation process and the strategies that were employed to solve them. The report also includes a discussion of the quality of the translated text, based on the principles of the function-based translation theory. In conclusion, the report provides recommendations for future studies in the field of translation studies.

The ST is straightforward and concise, with no major issues that would hinder comprehension. However, there are several culturally specific references that required explanation, and some expressions that may require adapta
