Abstract

The English translation of Chinese scenic spots is an important way to promote Chinese culture. Poor translation will give foreigners bad impression of China, and consequently influences the development of inbound tourism. To the contrary, canonical translation of Chinese scenic spots reflects the degree of civilization in a region. Translation ethics is a key factor in regulating translator's behavior. This paper tries to discuss the principle of the translation of Chinese scenic sites from the five kinds of ethical pattern of Chesterman's translation ethics. The translator should stick to the translation ethics and provide complete and accurate translation. Then, foreign tourists can not only enjoy Chinese places of interest, but also appreciate the profound Chinese traditional culture.
