5、eitwelldealwithtourismEnglishtranslation.摘要：隨著中國(guó)旅游業(yè)的迅速發(fā)展，越來越多的外國(guó)游客來到中國(guó)旅游觀光。雖然這些外國(guó)游客并不是全部來自英語(yǔ)國(guó)家，但是作為當(dāng)今世界通用語(yǔ)，英語(yǔ)成為國(guó)際旅游活動(dòng)中一個(gè)最重要的交流工具和媒介。因此，旅游英語(yǔ)這個(gè)特殊的英語(yǔ)文體開始在中國(guó)旅游行業(yè)中流行，并成為旅游業(yè)發(fā)展必不可少的因素之一。許多旅游英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)旅游英語(yǔ)，一大部分旅游從業(yè)者開始學(xué)習(xí)使用英語(yǔ)。對(duì)此，本

6、文首先通過對(duì)旅游英語(yǔ)本身的研究，揭示了旅游英語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)言功能，并且從語(yǔ)言學(xué)和文化的角度，分析了旅游英語(yǔ)的特點(diǎn)，正是這些特點(diǎn)使得旅游英語(yǔ)成為一種獨(dú)特的英語(yǔ)文體。對(duì)于旅游英語(yǔ)本身的詳細(xì)研究不僅可以幫助旅游從業(yè)人員更好的了解和使用旅游英語(yǔ)，并且也為旅游英語(yǔ)翻譯打下良好的基礎(chǔ)。IntroductionTourismhasreceivedaninternationalreputationasaneverdecliningindustryinthehi
