5、 Chinas reform and opening-up has achieved brilliant results. More and more countries are willing to establish friendly relations with China, which has played a great role in stimulating the market economy. The translation of economic and trade correspondence is a bridge between foreign trade and ec

6、onomic activities and one of the important tools for communication between the two countries. The translation of economic and trade correspondence is very important for exploring foreign trade and economic activities. The research in this paper focuses on the influence of the thinking mode, the cogn

The translation of economic and trade correspondence is not only based on the written meaning, but more importan

14、tly, we need to learn how to flexibly translate in daily life, so as to realize barrier-free communication between the two cultures. The role of cultural differences in the translation of economic and trade correspondence cannot be ignored. As Nida, a famous American translator, said, to do a really

15、 good translation, it is even more important to master two cultures than two languages, because words have meaning only when they are used in a particular culture. However, China and the west are quite different from each other in terms of geographical gap. They have different historical backgrounds

16、, customs and cultural traditions, so it is not easy for them to reach a consensus. The relationship between culture and language is a kind of mutual influence. If you want to skillfully use language, you need to have a deep understanding of culture. Since the leap of the Internet and Chinas determi

17、nation to reform and open up, China and foreign exchanges are very frequent and close, which has driven the economic development of the two countries. Chinas accession to the WTO has promoted the development of the world economy. In the platform of the WTO, the economy has entered a virtuous circle

18、of scale. On the Internet, China and western countries cant facilitate transactions without economic and trade correspondence. Economic and trade correspondence is not only a mechanical conversion of language information, but also contains the differences in the way of thinking, cognition and values

19、 in different cultures. A standardized and decent correspondence translation can not only demonstrate a persons language application ability, but also show the excellent image of an enterprise, which reflects the professional level of a person or an enterprise and can win the trust in communication.

20、 Only when we have a deep understanding of each other thinking mode, cognitive mode and values, can we consider problems from each other point of view and reach a consensus. Without understanding the influence of cultural differences on the translation of economic and trade correspondence, it is dif

21、ficult to maintain the relationship between us if we just copy the contents of textbooks for communication. Only by deeply understanding the influence of cultural differences on the translation of economic and trade correspondence, understanding the differences in thinking mode, cognitive mode and v

22、alues between each other and coming up with solutions to the differences, can we communicate with each other more smoothly. Therefore, the significance of my research is to analyze the impact of cultural differences on the translation of business correspondence and propose measures to solve the impa

23、ct. I hope that the research in this paper can leave some reference and thinking for those in need.I have consulted relevant materials and learned that there are not many articles on the topic of studying the impact of cultural differences on the translation of economic and trade correspondence. The

24、 translation studies on cultural differences mainly focus on the impact of cultural differences on the translation of business English and economic and trade English. The research topic of this paper can be regarded as a major innovation of the impact of cultural differences on the translation of ec

25、onomic and trade correspondence, because few people are currently studying this topic. The purpose of this study is to clarify the impact of different ways of thinking, cognitive styles and values on economic and trade correspondence in the translation of economic and trade correspondence, and by an

26、alyzing various influencing factors, put forward strategies to deal with the impact.CHAPTER IRELEVANT BACKGROUND AND STATUS OF ECONOMIC AND TRADE CORRESPONDENCE1.1 Research background and significanceHofstetter defined culture as the common psychological process of people in the same environment. Th

27、erefore, culture is not a personal trait, but a psychological process Shared by many people with the same social experience and educational background.Different groups, people in different countries or regions have different psychological processes, because they have received different education, ha

28、ve different societies and have different jobs, so they have different ways of thinking. The influence of different ways of thinking, cognition and values on translation cannot be ignored, because today is an era of science and technology, but also an era of win-win cooperation. To achieve social an

29、d national progress, we need win-win cooperation. Mutual cultural consensus and even closer exchanges are indispensable for win-win cooperation. To promote the close communication between the two countries needs a carrier, and this carrier is the translation of economic and trade correspondence. Tra

30、nslation of economic and trade correspondence not only reduces transaction costs and improves efficiency, but also increases opportunities for foreign trade and further changes the cost structure of foreign trade, which plays a promoting role in foreign trade economy. The economic and trade exchange

31、s between the two countries rely on the translation of economic and trade correspondence to convey information to each other and promote cooperation. It is undeniable that the translation of economic and trade correspondence is an indispensable tool for the communication and cooperation between coun

32、tries.Therefore, to understand the impact of the differences in the way of thinking, cognition, and values on the translation of economic and trade correspondence, and to analyze the various influencing factors and propose strategies to deal with the impact, we can fundamentally understand the trans

33、lation of economic and trade correspondence. The importance of this era of win-win cooperation.1.2 Research Status at Home and AbroadThe trend of economic globalization has increased the demand for the translation of economic and trade correspondence, and the attention paid to the translation of eco

34、nomic and trade correspondence is also increasing. So far, after consulting relevant information, I summarize as follows: Li Fenyao (2015) believes that only by deep understanding of Chinese and Western cultures and their differences can we better grasp the impact of cultural factors on the translat

35、ion of economic and trade correspondence. Only by deeply understanding the cultural differences of different countries can we better understand the influence of cultural factors on the translation of economic and trade correspondence. Only in this way can we successfully carry out translation activi

36、ties, thereby promoting the development of economic and trade and training excellent English translation talents. Zhao Mingci (2017) researches that with the continuous development of economic and trade globalization, the translation of economic and trade correspondence has become an important langu

37、age tool for different countries to communicate, and it is able to carry out two-way communication and effective transmission of the ideology of many countries, so that they can reach a consensus. However, in the actual translation process of economic and trade correspondence, it is not difficult to

38、 find that there are great cultural differences in the way of thinking, living habits and cultural attainment caused by different regions, which will have a great impact on the actual translation effect of economic and trade correspondence. Therefore, he proposed countermeasures against these influe

39、nces.Luo Ying (2018) research believes that the times are changing, the exchanges between countries are no longer blocked but are getting closer, and the status of economic and trade correspondence translation is gradually improving. Due to the influence of different living habits, cultural customs

40、and other factors, people in the east and the west have certain differences in the way of thinking, customs and habits, which will also have an impact on the translation of economic and trade correspondence. He studied the impact of different regions and different historical cultures on the translat

41、ion of economic and trade correspondence, and proposed several strategies to deal with the impact through the analysis of the influencing factors.Pat Hudson (2014) believes that with the development of economy, foreign trade correspondence will go deep into international communication. This article

42、examines the role of commercial correspondence in this process, based on archives from different British regions and sectors of domestic and overseas trade. The form and functions of letters, their structure, handwriting, vocabulary, layout and phrasing, are examined.It is argued that commercial let

43、ters were both practical and imaginary.They acted as a commitment agent, reducing risk and uncertainty and lowering transaction costs.They also created communities of traders that transcended boundaries of culture and nationality in the interests of efficient commerce.1.3 Research content and resear

44、ch methodsThis article is structured into three parts: introduction, text, and conclusion, with five chapters in content.As the introduction of the thesis, the first chapter introduces the background, purpose and significance of the research on the translation of economic and trade correspondence, t

45、he current status of the research, and its research contents and methods.

The third chapter explores the impact of cultural differences on the transl

46、ation of economic and trade correspondence (starting from thinking, cognitive and values). Chapter four proposes corresponding countermeasures. The fifth chapter is the concluding part of the thesis, which summarizes the main results of the thesis, the innovations of the thesis, the existing limitat

47、ions and future research directions.This article mainly adopts the literature research method.
