1. Introduction
This paper intends to investigate the acceptability of ’s English website from the view of Skopotheorie. English website is to face with the foreign audience to provide information, fully displaying the teaching achievement and promoting learning, cooperation and exchanges to enhance the image of the University. Internet has greatly changed the way of social contact, and increasingly become the most important information media. With the increase of international communication and cooperation in universities, so as the need for external propaganda, the websites of Chinese universities are mostly made of bilingual. However, the survey found that most English websites in the Chinese universities are not only hydteretic in the content but also exist translation problems, making the readers’ misunderstanding and destroying propaganda effect. Skopotheorie put forward by German Functionalist School offers a new perspective for translation studies. In this paper, the writer will study on website translation and ’s English website, then look up to Skopotheorie and research the role it plays in guiding website translation. Finally I will propose some suggestions to ’s website translation which aims to improve the quality of translation and the image of our school, resulting in better international communication and cooperation.
