Abstract:Since the implementation of reform and opening up policy, China’s international status and comprehensive strength has been enhanced. China communicates with the outside world frequently, while misunderstandings and conflicts appear. Government Work Report(GWR), as a formal, official political document, is a media of letting other countries know China better. Hence, the English version of GWR is very important. Translation of lexical items with Chinese characteristics is especially difficult and should be paid more attention. This paper, based on Functional Equivalence Theory, analyzes C-E translation of lexical items with Chinese characteristics in 2015 Government Work Report.It discusses translating skills and principles and comes to the following conclusion that Functional Equivalence Theory can guide translation of lexical items. Translators should understand items thoroughly, and consider the culture of target reader’s country. At the same time, translators should follow the principles of being accurate, keeping pace with the times, and being political.
Key words: Functional Equivalence Theory, lexical items with Chinese characteristics, translation
