He tries to offer some ways to solve the problems in a special sort of political texts. His famous book named On Prob

4、lems of Translation-A Series of Talks Given at the Institute of Journalism was published in 1980. 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 confl

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 tra

6、nslators try to give a word-for-word rendering for lack of a thorough understanding of the original; 2 they follow the Chinese collocation and sentence structure without paying enough attention to the features of the English language. On the basis of zhuangs theory, this paper will compare China Eng

When it comes to Chinglish, Zhao Yushan, in his book Chinese English and Translation of Current affairs teams, explains that the translation of political texts from China English perspective. He thinks that we should avoid Chin

He also thinks that connotation refers to the abstract properties of an entity, while denotation refers to the concrete entities having these properties. Its r

11、eally not an easy task to deal with the relationship between connotation and denotation in English translation of political texts.In his book Culture and Translation, Song Rongjiang holds that when we translate some words with Chinese characteristics into English, we cannot easily find appropriate a

The reason is there are differences between China and English speaking countries in historical and cultural background, political and economic systems and social ideology etc. So according to linguistic feature of English, translators need to create English expr

This paper adopts several methodologies, such as induction and illustration etc. So a great number of examples are neede

14、d. These examples are mainly selected from Deng Xiaoping Theory in English version and The Report of the 17th national congress of C.P.C. which are extremely authoritative.This paper also absorbs a lot from books writing written by foreign experts. Newmark calls political texts as authoritative stat

Meanwhile, in his book About Translation Newmark believes that there is not enough straight translation of pol

He holds that political languages main use of acronyms for the titles of political parties and organizations. The translation is development on contextual factors: the motivation, and linguistic and cultural level of the re
