Abstract Due to the influence of certain factors, “Chinglish” is prevalent in Chinese-English translation. It seriously affects the quality of translation as well as China's foreign exchange. Therefore, it is necessary to study the problem of Chinglish. In response to this problem, based on previous researches, this thesis roughly sums up some characteristics of Chinglish in Chinese-English translation, and then analyses the causes of it, including discrepancies in Chinese and Western cultural backgrounds, differences in Chinese and Western ways of thinking, and mother tongue interference, and last proposes some scientific and practical solutions to avoid the use of Chinglish, including improving linguistic competence, learning more about cultural differences, enhancing encyclopedic knowledge, and improving translation teaching strategies. This paper aims to make Chinese learners of English deepen their cognition of Chinglish and minimize the use of Chinglish in Chinese-English translation so as to improve the quality of Chinese-English translation and intercultural communication.65649

1. Introduction

With the implementation of China's reform and opening up policy and the development of the global political and economic integration, exchange and communication become increasingly frequent between China and other countries. Meanwhile, English has become a global language and the main language tool of China’s foreign exchange. Translation, therefore, is a necessary process of China’s foreign exchange. However, due to the influence of some factors, the phenomenon of “Chinglish” is prevalent in the process of Chinese-English translation. Chinglish does not comply with the rules or ways of expression of English and therefore cannot be accepted by native English speakers. It seriously affects the quality of Chinese-English translation and China's foreign exchange. Therefore, it is of great significance to study Chinglish. This thesis aims to provide a guidance for Chinese learners of English, and to deepen their understanding of Chinglish, in order to minimize the use of Chinglish and improve the quality of Chinese-English translation and cross-cultural communication. The thesis is pided into six parts. Part 1 is a brief introduction to the thesis, consisting of the aim and significance of the research and the organization of the thesis. Part 2 is literature review, presenting some previous studies about Chinglish. Part 3 illustrates some characteristics of Chinglish in Chinese-English translation at the phonological, lexical, syntactic, and textual level. Part 4 analyzes the causes of Chinglish. Part 5 proposes some possible measures to avoid the use of Chinglish. Part 6 summarizes the whole thesis and points out some limitations of the thesis.文献综述
