Abstract

According to the Appraisal Theory put forward by Martin, this paper explores the attitude expression of the business text and its translation. There are several different kinds of business texts which have the same ways to express the textual attitude, including overt and covert presentation. Both overt and covert presentation can convey the positive and negative attitude of the text. While working out the translating work, translators need to know well the attitude of the source text first. And in the process of translation, it is necessary for translators to use corresponding words which can directly express overt attitude of the business text. As for covert attitude, translators need to figure out the implications from the ideational meaning of the words with the help of understanding the specific context. In addition, the translators also need to apply ‘unfaithful’ method to do trnslating work in order to meet the need of target-language readers.
