Abstract

By analyzing website translation of cross-border e-commerce in China under the Belt and Road Initiative, this paper points out some internal factors that affect the whole translation process and also attaches great importance to the external factors. Those problems require translators not only to focus on the source text itself, but also to choose suitable translation strategies considering cultural factors. Solutions are given in accordance with functional translation theory and cultural studies, which aims at making full use of translator’s subjectivity during the translating process. By doing so can website translation of cross-border e-commerce in China make further progress, which will contribute to the development in this field and national economy.
