Abstract China’s rise in its global standing boosts a more and more active participation of Chinese-specific terms in the global discourse。 Chinese-specific terms play a very important part in C-E translation。 Changes of the translational eco-environment inevitably bring about changes in translation methods。 Therefore, it is necessary to reexamine the study of the English translation of Chinese-specific terms so as to promote China’s publicity。 Eco-translatology, proposed by Professor Hu Gengshen, is a totally new theory on translation studies。 Under the guidance of ecological holism, he applies Darwin’s Adaptation and Selection principle to the translation studies。 Eco-translatology holds that translators must carry out transformations in linguistic, cultural and communicative dimensions。 Based on the studies of Eco-translatology, this thesis will analyze the English translation of Chinese-specific terms in the English version of 2017 RWG by CCTB from the perspective of the Three-dimensional transformation in eco-translatology。85956

摘要随着中国全球影响力的提升,中国特色词汇越来越多地渗透到世界话语中去。中国特色词汇也就成了汉译英的重要组成部分。中国特色词汇英译的译法及翻译生态环境都已经发生了巨大变化,因此,需要重新审视其英译研究,以便更好地向世界传播中国理念。生态翻译学是胡庚申教授提出的关于翻译研究的全新理论,它在生态整体主义的指导下,将达尔文的适应与选择原理应用到了翻译研究中。生态翻译学认为译者在翻译过程中应该做到在语言维、文化维和交际维上的多维度适应性选择转换。所以本文将从生态翻译学的三维转换视角，分析中央编译局翻译的2017年《政府工作报告》中的中国特色词汇的英译。

1。 Introduction 

With the fast development of China’s economy and its engagement in international affairs, a lot of new vocabularies with Chinese characteristics come into being。 They stand for various aspects in Chinese-specific context, which are closely related to the Chinese social environment。 Chinese-specific terms (CST for short) have always been the focus in translation activities and studies with their unique charm。 Actually, considerable researches have been conducted for the English translation of CST。 However, few people paid attention to the translation of CST in Report on the Work of the Government (RWG for short)。 This is undoubtedly unfavorable for a comprehensive study of the English translation of CST。

The annual RWG reviews the government work during the past year, and puts forward both major tasks and general work arrangements for the current year, including industry, agriculture, education, diplomacy, biology, economy, etc。 Thus, it has become the most important and authoritative source for the world to comprehend China’s situation。 RWG is abundant with CST, which presents a picture of China’s progress in different fields in certain periods。 Most CST in RWG are in pace with the latest development of China, which find no equivalences in English。 Besides, some of them have undergone various evolutions and been endowed with different connotations due to the development in different fields。 Hence, it is necessary to reexamine the English translation of CST to promote China’s participation in the global discourse。
