Abstract：
With the increasing international exchanges in science, politics, trade, management and culture, the English translation of Chinese political words is more and more important. This paper focuses on the Chinese-English translation of political words. Based on detailed exemplification, this thesis aims to study how functional equivalence can be achieved in political documentation translation in terms of meaning and style. The thesis is composed of five parts. The first part is introduction. The second part concerns the current situation of English translation of Chinese political words and existing problems. As the theoretic basis of the thesis, the third part is the introduction and explanation of Nida’s functional equivalence theory. Nida emphasizes first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style, as well as the degree to which the receptors of the message in the receptors language respond to the message performed in target language should be the same as the degree to which the receptors in the source language respond to the message performed in source language. And the relation between functional equivalence theory and the English translation of Chinese political words is also to be discussed in this part. In part four, the author proposed the principles of English translation of Chinese political words based on Functional Equivalence Theory. At last, a brief conclusion is given. It gives a hint to the future direction of this field. The significance of this thesis lies in the meaningful suggestions induced from the functional equivalence and political words translation. The effectiveness of smooth political message exchanges through translation is the goal of this thesis.
