Abstract With the rise of China’s overall national strength, China has played an increasingly significant part in the international society and therefore more and more people want to know China’s development in various aspects, which reveals the importance of the English translation of Government Work Report。 This thesis has analyzed the English translation of 2017 Government Work Report from the perspective of Nida’s functional equivalence theory, in order to evidence the feasibility of applying this theory to translating GWR。 First of all, the core concept of functional equivalence theory and its development in China are introduced。 Then, the content of GWR and the significance of its translation as well as its linguistic characteristics are discussed in the second part。 The third part probes into the application of functional equivalence theory to GWR translation at the lexical, syntactic and discourse level。   85733

Recent years have seen China’s development in economy, culture, politics, science, technology and military affairs and China is playing an increasingly significant part in the international society。 More and more people begin to fix their eyes on China。 GWR, as a yearly official report Chinese government has made to Chinese people, also functions as a medium through which foreigners can know the overall national situation of China。 Naturally, the English translation of GWR should be attached much attention to。 A better translation of GWR can make China better understood and recognized。论文网
