Abstract

With the advancement of global integration, the cultural exchanges between China and the West have become increasingly close. The translation of culture-loaded words is particularly important in this process. This paper aims at studying the Chinese-English translation of political and culture-loaded words in news from the perspective of intercultural communication. The author selects bilingual news from the news media China Daily from March 2020 to March 2021 to form a self-built corpus as the research object. Through the combination of quantitative analysis, the translation strategies of culture-loaded words in news are explored. Through studying the methods of specific words in translation samples, this paper discusses and summarizes the translation strategies of political culture-loaded words in news, including literal translation, transliteration, and free translation. It summarized the translation strategies of political culture-loaded words and provides reference for the translation of culture-loaded words in news.
