摘要

近年來，台灣越來越多企業將自身中文的ISO品質系統程序書翻譯成英文，以追求國外之客源。然而，譯者卻未注意到中英文品質系統程序書的文本上的差異，造成其英譯文與原文文本呈現一致，而非外國品質系統專家所認為英文品質系統程序書該有之文本與寫作風格。本論文採用紐馬克之溝通翻譯法，針對本人翻譯某光電公司之十篇品質系統程序書英譯文進行分析。研究發現，採用溝通翻譯法翻譯中文品質系統程序書，確實能讓英譯文忠實傳達原文內容，並使其符合國外專業讀者期待之品質系統程序書文本及寫作風格。此外，本論文也以紐馬克提出之翻譯技巧，統整分析中文品質系統程序書英譯文，以提供未來從事品質系統程序書翻譯者作為參考。

To translate Chinese ISO procedures into English has become more and more important in recent years because it is a key feature for Taiwanese companies to attract foreign customers.
However, previous studies have failed to discover that the text types of Chinese and English ISO procedures are different. Therefore, the text type and the writing style of English or translated ISO procedures should be different from those of Chinese ones. Lamentably, they have remained the same in most translations because the differences are ignored, resulting in the translated procedures nonconforming to the requirements of foreign ISO experts. Moreover, many Chinese ISO procedures are usually written by non-professional writers, so the writing of the procedures is usually unintelligible, a common problem that translators encounter.
This thesis has adopted Peter Newmark’s principle of communicative translation to analyze the translations of ten ISO procedures related to the optoelectronic industry. The results showed that these translations following the communicative translation strategy can faithfully convey the content of the original, obey the prescribed text type and writing style, and make the translation clearer than the original Chinese text. Furthermore, this thesis discussed Newmark’s translation techniques applied to the ISO procedure translations and provided typical examples for future reference.
