1 Introduction
Slang refers to informal, more colloquial sentences, which are composed of localized words that are easily understood by the people in their daily lives. It has humorous, fast update, and strong affinity. Although slang is informal language that is often used in informal situations, it is also used to express new things or to give new ideas to old things.
According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, slang was originally referred to as some special vocabulary or idiom used by prisoners or tramps to cover up their identity. With the constant change and development of the language, the slang that was originally confined to a certain class has been accepted by more and more people. It is used not only in daily life, but also in increasingly frequent business activities. Business English As a branch of special-purpose English, it has its unique social language background and connotation. In addition, the slang is difficult to identify and understand, and its translated language is difficult to fully convey the information of the original language, thus affecting communication. Especially for a person engaged in business activities, if you can't understand the slang well, you will be in a very passive position in business activities, especially in important trade negotiations, and even affect the success of the business.
Therefore, the study of the style and translation of slang in business English is an important topic worth discussing and this article aims to understand the style and translation methods of slang, enhance the culture of British and American countries, and try to avoid misunderstanding in business situations.
