China has become one of the largest tourist destinations in the world, whose breathtaking natural beauty is irresistible appealing to foreigners. The booming of tourism in China calls for extensive research on the translation of tourist texts in general, and landscape descriptions in particular. Tourist materials cover a large scope, including those which introduce Chinas tourist industry and tourism resources, with average tourists as readers, such as scenic-spot introductions, tourist advertisements, notices and public signs in scenic spots, tour schedules and couplets hung on the columns of the tourist attractions, etc. Scenic-spot introductions, as one of the most important types of tourist materials, form the hard nut for translation. Therefore, by analyzing scenic-spot introduction materials, the author endeavors to discuss the translators ability based on the Skopos theory. It is the first and vital step for translators to clarify the translation purpose, and meanwhile, they should be equipped with the quality of dynamic adaptation in dealing with translation problems.The thesis is composed of four chapters:Chapter one reviews the literature related to the present study; introduces the development of tourist industry in China; elaborates on the features of scenic-spot introduction texts and analyzes the differences in tourist texts between English versions and Chinese versions.Chapter two advances the theoretical basis of this thesis-Skopos theory of German Functionalism, including the development of Skopos theory, the important concepts in Skopos theory such as text function, the criteria of evaluating the translation, etc.Chapter three discusses the significance of the Skopos theory in the translation of scenic-spot introductions.Chapter four proposes the translators ability based on Skopos theory, and as an additional theoretical support, adaptation theory is adopted to tackle some problems. Tourist material translation, as pragmatic translation, is an emerging and promising field for translation studies. The translators should understand that tourist material translation is ultimately evaluated by its acceptability among tourists, thus promoting tourism products and attracting foreign tourists. Whats more, the translators should be adaptive in choosing strategies depending on specific context in order to succeed in fulfilling the purpose of tourism translation.In conclusion, the present study purports to open a window on new, alternative approaches to the translation of scenic-spot introductions. Since tourism translation lays emphasis on the transmission of information and its publicity effect, what and how much information should be remained mainly depends on translation purpose and target readers needs. Therefore, the Skopos theory has been confirmed to be applicable and successful in tourism translation. As far as the translators ability is concerned, to specify the translation purpose is just the basic step for tourism translation. Furthermore, the translators should be adaptive because of the differences in culture background, aesthetic habits of readers and features of English and Chinese，and make proper choice accordingly.

Since Maco Polo first returned from the Far East in 1295 with exotic treasures and wondrous stories, China, with a vast territory, abundant resources, remarkable natural cultural and historic landscapes, has become such a land of attractions to the outside world that each year thousands upon thousands of foreign tourists are crowding into the country, eager to see the mysterious land. Tourism has been a promising industry in China. The rapid growth of tourism has contributed greatly to the prosperity of some countries or areas as it has become the most important means of earning foreign exchange. According to the World Tourism Organization, China is predicted to be the worlds largest tourism destination and the fourth largest source of tourists by 2020, and Tourism 2020 vision released by WTO forecasts that, by the year 2020, international arrivals are expected to reach over 1.56 billion, worth some $3trillion annually. Although the history of the development of tourist industry in China is rather short compared with developed western countries, tourism in China is developing at a high speed. Since 1950, with the rapid development of transportation, tourism has risen each year at an average rate of 72%.Tourism translation, as a direct channel to introduce tourism information to the potential tourists, serves as a sounding board. Through it, foreign readers can get the information about China. Although it hasnt been researched as widely as the other subjects in translation field, more and more importance has now been attached to it due to the practical motive as well as theoretical necessity. Tourism translation, as one branch of applied translation, is in urgent need of profound and thorough researches under certain translation theories. As China plans to promote its inbound tourism, tourism translation shoulders unprecedented responsibilities for providing the information about the tourism resources in our country and outputting our culture.To meet the needs of foreign travelers, a host of tourist information materials written in Chinese, such as guidebooks and tourist brochures are translated into English. As publicity material, tourist information publicizes tourist resources, local culture, customs, history and religion. Proper translation of tourist information contributes to building up Chinas international image as a highly civilized country, to show her attractiveness to the world, and to expand the international tourism market.However, the low quality of an expanding number of translated tourism texts does not ensure efficient promotion of Chinese tourist attractions. Although some translation versions are bilingual tourism publications which provide foreign travelers with an access to China, the substantial unqualified translation versions do hamper foreign visitors from understanding Chinese culture in the right way. The translation of tourist materials should meet two purposes: one is to attract foreigners to visit China so as to further develop tourism; the other is to spread unique Chinese culture to the world. The booming international tourism industry has given rise to the need of well-translated tourist texts which provide adequate information for foreign tourists and attract more foreign people to visit China. It therefore needs improvement of tourism translation under scientific guidelines. The Skopos theory was developed to meet the growing needs of translating non-literary text types in the 1970s, and tourist information texts fall into this category and thus are fit for a fresh perspective from the theory by investigating what effect the translated works have on their readers. In the study of tourism translation, people have adopted many theories and made some progress. However, no fundamental improvement was made, because translation involves such complicated factors such as linguistic structures, target readers, thought pattern and cultural background. The failure in adopting target-reader orientation to produce intended function causes various translation problems and errors, which makes target text unacceptable to target readers.Before moving on to tourism translation, the author is to give the definition of Tourism texts. Tourism texts can be defined in a broad sense or in a narrow one. In a broad sense, from the prospective of genres, it belongs to vocative texts which include introductions to scenic spots, tourism advertisements, signs for tour
