IntroductionSkills in our country, the text translation began in the spring and autumn period of "the songs of and, so far, about 2500 years of history, the criteria for translation of debate also has more than 1000 years, but the translation standards in fact have yet to reach an" consensus ", which is not a common identity translation standards. Criteria for translation the controversy has been going on. Business English as a special use English, given its particularity, the translation criteria is difficult to unity. This paper through the analysis of Chinese and foreign translation standard business English translation role, showing business English translation.The special use English are divided into two categories: the Academic for the Purpose of English (English for Academic Purpose)- -refers to finish school or Academic research, communication by use of English, Academic strong; With professional for the purpose of English (English for Occupation Purposes)- -refers to a specific industry work in the use of English, practical, professional stronger. According to this standard, Business English and can be divided into two types: General Business USES English (EGBP: English for General Business Purposes) and special Business USES English (ESBP: English for Specific Business Purposes). According to The Hutchinson and Waters of The proposed The tree of ELT, points out that The business English (Business English) English for special Purposes (English for Specific Purposes), The branch of a variant. As is known to all, English has become the international business activities of the best media. Business English is special use English (English for Specific Purposes) a branch of, is the international business activities for this Specific professional subject service special use English, it is based on the basic English grammar, syntax and vocabulary, but also has a unique language phenomenon and the performance of the content. With the prosperity and development of the international business, China's opening up has been increasing, especially to join the WTO, business English translation work is very important. Business English translation than normal English translation are more complicated, the translator in addition to master two languages besides familiar with business knowledge, understand business field representation methods and characteristics of the language. The domestic many scholars, to improve the tireless business English translation of the work quality, of business English translation standards, methods, characteristics such as language problems, do a lot of research and exploration. In the study on the basis of absorbing others view, I only from several Angle, puts forward several business English translations of effective techniques.2. Lower Cultural Difference The characteristics of business English business English is the English language system in a branch, is for international business activities this specific professional subject service special use English, it is based on the basic English grammar, syntax and vocabulary, but also has a unique language phenomenon and the performance of the content. Business English style is complex. Business English involves the professional range is very wide, including advertising English, English law, practical English, clothing, packaging function such as English variants of English. Understand the business English style characteristics to grasp the style of the original translator information transmission, professional terms. Business English must express information is business theory and business practice and so on content, so and professional contents inseparable. Business in the English vocabulary of use in the biggest characteristic is to use the precise vocabulary, including a large number of professional vocabulary, has the meaning of the words and ordinary business compounds, and thumbnail words, etc. Such as price commonly used terms FOB and CIF has its particular professional content, and as C.W.O order payment. B/L bill of lading; L/C ; C.O.D goods to pay cash; W.P.A ; Blue chip blue chip, blue chip stocks; The occurring of bad debt, and so on. Don't understand these professional term, no professional knowledge, we can't do well such business English translation. Practical Business English belongs to the practical English. The practical characteristics make international business English translator understand, in order to improve the quality of translation, he must to be many international business to understand somewhat, and skilled at one of the profession. Three, domestic and foreign translation standard translation standard schools of thought contend, white put together. In 1898, Yan fu in the TianYanLun "of the translation of LiYan," said: "translation of the difficult: faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance. For the letter, has great affliction yi! GuXin yi, not $, though, still not the translation, it is also of how." Then general "faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance" is as a translation of the standard. With today's words, "letter" is faithful accurate, "up to" is smooth fluent, "elegant" are words quaint. Yan fu of "faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance" is recognized as the translation standards, its far-reaching influence. It's the same for business English translation guidance, business English language requirements will be rigorous, accurate "letter", at the same time in the "letter" based on the pursuit of "expressiveness and elegance" translation "three principles". The Tate Britain, in its place of the "on translation principles," a book of the proposed the famous "three principles": it shall be entirely out of the original copy of thought; the style of the translation and the nature of the original style should be the same; the text should also fluent. Tate in one hundred years ago, put forward the principles mainly in literary translation, especially of poetry translation, but he said the general principle applies to all translation, he stressed that the text of the readers and the readers of the response of the agreement. "Functional equivalence translation" rule is by the famous American translators Eugene? Dr Nida proposed. In many of the foreign translation home, Nida translation theory can say to our country the most influence. He thinks, translation of the expected goal mainly is the original and the information content, in speech way, style, style, language, culture, and social factors to achieve equivalence aspects. Nida which standards of translation of international business English view of the translation has great significance, because no matter what belongs to the original style, the key is the information of equivalence. "The semantic translation" and "communicative translation" are standard by the famous British translators Peter? New mark put forward. He in the translation exploration of the collection of paper puts forward the criteria. Translation of information communication on the effect, the semantic translation focuses on information content. So it seems that the new market, translation standards for more international communication business English translation. "Translation equivalence" is Canada translators let? Professor Dudley, in his book "the translation theory and translation teaching method" a book points out: "code is to establish the translated word consistent relation; translation is the search for the equivalent of information." In the book he mentioned in the latter part of the "meaning equivalent", "language equal value" is synonymous with "code equivalent", "meaning equivalent", "context equivalent", "information equal value" is "translation equivalence" synonyms. Professor Dudley's translation of the standard of business English translation of great significance, for business English translation standards is a reference value. Four, business English translation standards outlined above the part of translation the translator's more famous criterion view. On the view of the translators both at home and abroad, we can draw the conclusion: Chinese and foreign translation standards in the agreement, namely: the information systems. Foreign various translation standards are around the style of the content, the form and the overall information transfer or equivalence of open; The domestic various translation standards and foreign very much the same, mainly around the faithful, equivalent and fluent, such as god spread out. After all, no matter what kind of translation standards, is inseparable from a "true" word, in other words, the original message should be the real reflection of, the translator maximum limit will be given in the original text writer language "mission" translates into the translation, the original "mission" begin to have the bear. Business English covers a range a broader, involves many different fields and different style, so business English translation standards has its particularity. In view of the business English this characteristic, the author thinks that, business English translation standards can be "information flexible equivalence", namely: the original and the semantic information of equivalence; the original and the style of equivalence information; the original and the cultural information of equivalence.Lower culture language is part of culture, is the carrier of culture, it to culture plays an important role. International language translation is not only two kinds of language exchange, are also two the passing of culture. Culture in the process of translation is not be ignored in the factors, as the famous American translators Eugene Nada said: "to really do translation work well, and master the two kinds of culture than master two languages and even more important, because the words used in specific culture only just have meaning." Different nations have different historical background, customs, local conditions and customs, culture tradition. It is reported, the world was introduced into the global market every year the product around 85% of all failed. "The international marketing way to success is based on error marketing and advertising campaign on the ruins of the failure of most of them. Failure is due to a cross-cultural communication mistakes." These exchanges failure is either ignore cultural differences, either for the cultural differences caused by ignorance. For example, "dragon" (dragon) in Chinese is "authority auspicious power", the symbol of so many goods named after it. But, in western culture, dragon refers to the evil monsters, is the symbol of evil. The biblical story of the devil (Satan) is considered the great dragon. In addition, dragon and "shrew" means. Therefore, dragon in English speaking countries people in the cause of the association and the Chinese mind "the dragon" is completely different. In view of this, we in translation "Asian Tigers", after cultural transformation processing, it will be translated into Four Asian Tigers, not Four Asian Dragons, because tiger (tiger) in western mind is a tough animals. In addition, the east and west of the wine culture also can be the comparison. China is rich in "liquor", someone will it to literally translated into white wine, but little imagine this white wine white wine, liquor and spirits or to and Chinese "liquor" equivalence. And look at English and Chinese have express "dry" this alleged object words, correct English term is dried food and nuts, and can't translated into dry goods (textiles). In short, as China and English nation has different historical background, customs, local conditions and customs, culture tradition, engaged in international business translation personnel must understand the local and foreign national cultural differences, and try to make these differences in interpretation process disappear, and at the same time in the receptor language the accurate words found in, to the translation to attain the cultural information equivalence, make foreign culture in reproducing in the receptor language.3. Translation and the Original in Style to be Faithful Consistent Here the referred to "style", in fact is to point to a different style. Style information is one of the information transmission languages. Style of information to be passed in the process of translation should not be ignored. If the translation of ignoring the style of the original information, will not only make the huge loss of information, and to make the translation is not properly. International business English involves different style of language forms, such as documents, legal, advertising, etc. So, the translator must pay attention to the different style of information that transmit the original and the style of information systems. e.g.：These Rules shall govern the arbitration except that where any of these Rules is in conflict with a provision of the law applicable to the arbitration from which the parties cannot derogate，that provision shall prevail. 译文：本规则应管辖仲裁，但如本规则任何条款
