Abstract:This paper starts with a general study of Chinese catchwords chosen from in the recent ten years. Chinese Internet catchwords have been flooding into our life since the evolution of networking, and they are kind of special language variants beyond semantic features of cultural connotation. Therefore,the translation of Chinese Internet catchwords and its limitation become a new probe point. However, untranslatability does not generally mean that two kinds of languages cannot be translated, but refer to the exactness of translation. That is to say, translatability and untranslatability are a pair of relative notions. Both of which express the basic function of language and will change and develop. In this article, the detailed factors for untranslatability are discussed from culture and language aspects. Furthermore, the paper also summarizes some proper rules and skills of translating Chinese Internet catchwords for motivating learning and intercultural communication.
