With the rapid development of society, the connection between the countries becomes more and more closely, communication is gradually increased, accordingly, the divergence must be increased, at this time, legal English translation becomes more and more necessary. However, we should know that the legal system of western countries is different from ours, their legal concept is also different from ours, especially the different writing methods of legal texts, so we must take the factors into account during the process of English legal texts into Chinese. Therefore, we need some relevant theories to guide our thoughts and behaviors to translate. The thesis holds that functionalist skopos translation theory is more applicable to guide legal English translation. Through the research, we will find that skopos theory provides us a new perspective to translate English legal texts.
