TOTAL VIEWS: 1401
Abstract
The Government Work Report, as one of the external propaganda texts, contains a wealth of characteristic cultural terms. Metaphorical words are such of the kinds, and their translation is of utmost importance. Therefore, based on the study of translation rhetoric, this article analyzes the translation strategies of metaphorical words and attempts to provide a new research perspective for the analysis of the Government Work Report. This article has selected 11 examples and found that the above-mentioned strategies are employed from which literal translation and paraphrase are frequently used. However, it merely focuses on the recent three years’ government work report, and hence the selected examples of metaphorical words are limited. Examples of paraphrases are general, and mostly analyzed through free translation. There is still room for further study.
