摘 要
旅游宣传手册是吸引游客的重要宣传方式。大多数的旅游爱好者是通过阅读旅游宣传资料了解旅游信息。随着国际旅游市场的迅速发展，旅游宣传手册翻译对促进国际旅游业发展起着重要影响。旅游宣传手册旨在向游客介绍景点的特色，地区的风土人情，历史文化等内容，因此旅游资料翻译是一种跨文化交际的活动。同时，旅游文本本身的信息性，召唤性功能决定了旅游宣传资料的翻译必须在特定的翻译理论的指导下进行。笔者通过引进德国功能翻译理论，并对理论的翻译准则进行略论，结合旅游宣传资料的信息性，英语论文，召唤性特点，总结出旅游宣传资料翻译的指导准则即传播中国文化准则，忠诚准则和简洁准则。在此准则的指导下，笔者进一步提出删节法、添加法、释义法和改译法四种翻译策略。
