《中西文化與漢英翻譯文本比較》是南京師范大學"英漢翻譯文本類型對比案例庫"項目的最終成果，部分內容用作南京師范大學的MTI"英漢語比較導論"課程教材，已經試用多年，收到良好效果。
全書分十八章，分別涵蓋政治制度、法律、文學、典籍、影視、新聞傳播、傳統(tǒng)文化、社會流行語、體育、科技、醫(yī)藥、氣象、旅游、貿易、動植物、餐飲等16個領域，每一領域成為一章。在內容安排上，每章包括五節(jié)，每一節(jié)是題解，介紹該領域的基礎知識或基本概念，第二節(jié)是該領域的文化對比，介紹中國和西方社會在該領域的差別。第三節(jié)是語言比較，涉及漢語和英語在特定領域的語言使用規(guī)律，即相同語義內容的語際表達差異，與翻譯技巧直接關聯(lián)。該節(jié)以特定領域的經典例句為載體，對英漢兩種語言在所選定領域的語言差異做了較深入的比較，是對第二節(jié)文化差異的呼應和具體化。第四節(jié)和第五節(jié)分別是中西文化與漢英語言對比的譯例樣板和專業(yè)詞匯對照表。譯例樣板的選題取自該領域較有代表性的語篇，體現(xiàn)文化差異的典型性特征和語際差異的應對技巧，在譯例樣板之后是該領域專門詞匯和用語的對照列表。
本書內容全面，知識覆蓋面廣，涵蓋政治、經濟、文化、藝術、科技、社會生活、風土人情的各個方面。本書既可以用作翻譯讀本，也可以用作文化讀本，讀者面廣，適用性大。
在文化比較的基礎上進行語言比較，譯例樣板的選題取自該領域較有代表性的語篇，體現(xiàn)文化差異的典型性特征和語際差異的應對技巧，在譯例樣板之后是該領域專門詞匯和用語的對照列表。這樣的結構安排和選材原則，不僅有利于增強讀者的文化意識，也能提高兩種語言的修養(yǎng)，在此基礎上成為合格的翻譯工作者。
