1. 研究目的与意义（文献综述包含参考文献）

with the increasingly frequent exchanges across borders, english news, featuring latest content, modern languages and timeliness of transmission, has served as a convenient channel for people to obtain domestic and overseas information. however, cultural differences, especially those between the east and the west, will lead to different understandings or interpretations of the same piece of news between people of various backgrounds. therefore, emphasis should be placed on cultural differences when translating english news.

in terms of news translation, one cannot turn his or her back on the theories as well as strategies commonly applied. the thesis, on cultural differences on english news translation(2015)by wang yang, has showcased such translation methods as deletion, addition, reorganization and processing in order to help people avoid the ”cultural shock” and translate international news from english to target language in an appropriate manner.

apart from wang yang, heated discussions have been conducted by many well-renowned scholars in the academic circle when it comes to stylistic features of news as well as its translation methods . xiao aiping(2004:65-67)provided such three translation strategies as liberal translation, literal translation and recasting, etc. wang zhijiang(2001:7-9)put forward the principles on transliteration of foreign words. for example, it pointed out that there should be a unity in the translation of a place or a person, in which both the referential meaning and the associative meaning should be translated, with derogatory association being avoided.
