ABSTRACT:People live in the world where people are more closely connected than ever before, as media and internet have enabled people to have access to news several thousands of miles away. However, while modern technology has provided a great convenience for humans, the language gap is not easy to bridge. English as the most widely used language in the world plays the role to connect the whole world. Under this circumstance, China needs a tool to get a large amount of information and one of the most effective is the news.
The news introduces a variety of information of foreign countries like the economy and politics, and it is an effective way for people to understand foreign countries. Whether it is to translate the domestic hot events into English, or to translate English news into Chinese has brought new challenges to the translators. Such challenges also put forward higher requirements for translation, and hence translators must overcome them with new ideas.
