摘　　要：现有的翻译原则难以适用于商贸汉英翻译,使事关重大的中国商贸翻译经常无章可循。本文通过对商贸汉英翻译事例的分析,率先提出商贸翻译应遵循“忠实、准确、统一”的原则,阐述了这一原则的实质,强调商贸英语的语言特点决定了翻译原则的变异。Existing principles of translation are rarely applicable to Chinese-English business translation. All too often, therefore, businesstranslation— indispensable to China’s economic development—has hardly any principles to follow. The article takes the lead in addressingthis problem. With examples taken from Chinese-English business translations, the author puts forward the view that the major principles ofbusiness translation should be“faithfulness, exactness and consistency”. In explicating this point, the author stresses that the special featuresof business English account for the variability of translation principles.
