Abstract

Language reflects the changes taking place in people’s thinking and society. Network catchword is like a mirror of human society and cultural life. It has a close connection with modern people’s life and thought. Speaking of network catchwords, people focus on their word constructions, development and dissemination, and the translation of the network catchwords broadens their dissemination scale. However, network catchwords are very capricious because of their non-restriction of grammar, which makes the translation more challengeable. With a comprehensive analysis of functions and rhetorical characteristics of the network catchwords, the English translations of the Chinese network catchwords in the perspective of culture will be discussed. The use of network catchwords and their translations are of great significance. Led by the previous studies of network catchwords, this essay will continue with the discussion from the perspective of features and rhetorical characteristics. Then based on the result, the author concludes the three features and three basic translation strategies of the network catchwords. After that suggestions are also proposed to achieve a better understanding of the translation work and above all to improve the quality of translation.
