Abstract

With an increasing number of Japanese companies stationed in China, business interpreting activities between Chinese and Japanese are becoming more and more frequent. At present, the cultural gaps between the two countries have somehow hindered the smooth proceeding of business activities. In view of this, the focus of translation has gradually been shifted from the equivalent transformation of words to the cross-cultural understanding of comparative cultures. This study tries to classify phenomenon of cultural losses in business Japanese interpreting practices, with an aim of expounding how the translator ensures a smooth translation of information and interpersonal commitments through the reconstructing of communicative contexts.
