Cheng points out that we should lay much emphasis on political considerations, correct and thorough understanding of the original by comparing different versions of English translations.There is a conflict between China English and Chinglish in the process of translation of politica

5、l texts. Zhuang Yizhuan, in his book E-C Translation a Brief Course, points out that Chinglish is often seen in English translation published in Chinese publications. There are two reasons for this phenomenon: 1 the translators try to give a word-for-word rendering for lack of a thorough understandi
