In the scenic spots translation, translators must pay attention to the common rule of 

communication with different cultures, when they are dealing with these texts. For example, when tour guide talk about the tale of Lian Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, he can take Romeo and Juliet as compare which it is very familiar to the western people. Confucius is just like Aristotle, Genghis Khan like Julius Caesar. There is an another example about historical event translation. In contain a materials which introduce Forbidden City, a description said that：故宫建造耗时十四年，整个工程

于 1420 年结束。If the tourists is from North America, the text can be translated like this“The construction of Forbidden City took 14 years and was finished in 1420, 72 years before Christopher Columbus discovered the New World.” If the tourists are Europeans, it can be translated“The construction of Forbidden City took 14 years and was finished in 1420, 14 years before Shakespeare was born.” Though this way, Chinese culture is very easy for foreigners to understand and promote.

Scenic spots and historical character name under cross-culture awareness 

Most of these two kinds of code are also proper names. So we can use transliteration, free translation, literal translation and the methods of combination. However, no matter what methods translators use, they should have the keen conscious of cross-culture awareness and in the principle of spread Chinese culture. We’d better reserve the original image, the original cultural and historical connotation, the original pronunciation and association. So “三潭印月”（西湖十景之一）should better be translated into “Three Pools Mirroring the Moon” than “Santanyinyue”. “寒山寺”（佛教胜迹）— “Cold Mountain Temple” is better than “Han Shan Temple”. It is because that in the case of communication face to face between the translator and tourists, “Cold Mountain Temple” is better to understand. And the translator of 《寒山诗选》, Dr. Peter Stambler translates the book name into “Encounters with Cold 

Mountain”. And the book specially warned that “Han Shan was one of the leading poets of Tang Dynasty … He retired to Cold Mountain, took its name for his own, and lived the life of a hermit”. It is quiet a great example to explain this standard.  

6.Conclusion

This thesis is a brief investigation into the application of Skoposthcorie to the translation of scenic spot introductions. After conducting a careful comparison between Chinese and English tourist texts and analyzing examples of scenic spot introductions , the author has come to the following findings:First of all, functionalism, with Skopos theory as its core, is an effective theoretical framework for tourist translation. As is mentioned before, tourist texts belong to the genre of practical texts. Skopos Theory holds that the purpose of the translation guides the translator's action, and it puts more emphasis on the communicative purpose, which tourist texts stress. Therefore, Skopos Theory is suitable for the research of tourist translation.Secondly, as is specified in Chapter Three and Chapter Four, there are a number of linguistic differences between Chinese and English scenic spot introductions. Chinese texts tend to use flowery expressions and fancy phrases, while English texts are well. Thirdly, the C-E translation of scenic spot introductions is not simply transference from one language to another, but also a process of cross-cultural communication, which requires translators to be equipped with both language competence and traps-cultural awareness. Translators also should take into account the target readers' response and their expectation so as to achieve the ultimate purpose of translation.Fourthly, in order to produce good translation of Chinese scenic spot introductions,the translated versions should comply with the western culture and the western way of thinking. So translators are required to explore as many effective and useful translation techniques as possible from practical translations of scenic snot introductions.Despite the useful findings, the thesis still has some limitations. Due to the author's limited knowledge, some views in this thesis may not be as profound and thorough as expected. It could be of greater help if the author had made a survey of target readers' response to the techniques employed in the translation of the Chinese scenic spot introductions by using questionnaires. It is hoped that further study on this topic can be conducted in the future. Moreover, this thesis mainly focuses on the C-E translation of scenic spot introductions, taking average foreign tourists as its target

addressees. However, target readers may also be divided into different types on different levels. Therefore, the discussion still leaves room for further research.

The conclusion drawn here is that the translation of scenic-spot introductions is not only a language transfer, but also a way of cultural transmission. Therefore, it deserves more concern and research both inside and outside of the translation circle. The more thoroughly we know about the working mechanism of it, the more it will benefit China’s tourist industry and social progress.
