Interpretation of Hunan s Flavor and Specialty From the Perspective of Functionalist Translation Theory

The text typology, the three rules of Skopostheorie and the translation brief under Functionalist Translation Theory can direct the interpretation of Hunan＇s flavor and specialty in great degree. The author asserts that interpretation of Hunan＇s flavor and specialty aims at promoting the communication between China and foreign countries as well as helping foreign visitors understand Hunan＇s flavor and specialty and Hunan culture by means of the guide＇s oral presentation. Based on this purpose, the guide-interpreter is required to be fully aware of the functional features （informative and vocative） of such text, and pay attention to the corresponding translation brief so to adopt appropriate interpretation strategies and approaches.
