Abstract As a developing country, China is increasing its overall national strength, and much emphasis is put on Chinese culture transmission. At 2014 APEC, held in Beijing in November, four speeches delivered by President Xi contain many culture-loaded words, including ancient Chinese poems, phrases, proverbs and political terms. These words not only clearly express his purposes, but also show profound cultural Chinese characteristics. So it is important for the interpreter to translate the culture-loaded words correctly for conveying the speaker’s intension.27301

This thesis studies how traditional Chinese culture-loaded words are translated, how Chinese political terms are translated into English, and what translation strategy is employed in English translation. The research is conducted based on the four speeches delivered by President Xi from the perspective of Skopostheorie. After in-depth analysis, the writer of this thesis discovers that the interpreter uses free translation in order to achieve the speaker’s purposes when doing Chinese culture-loaded words and Chinese political terms. But if the direct translation does not hinder imparting speaker’s intention, the interpreter usually employs direct translation.

摘 要作为一个发展中国家，中国综合实力不断增强，文化的对外输出也随之变得越来越重要。在2014年11月北京举行的APEC(亚太经济合作组织)会议上，习主席发表了4篇演讲，其中便运用了大量的古诗、成语、谚语等富有文化意蕴的文化负载词.这些文化负载词既表达了演讲人的主旨思想，又彰显了中国深厚的文化底蕴。对于译者来说如何翻译好这些文化负载词，正确传达出演讲人的意图至关重要。
本毕业论文论文旨在研究中国的文化负载词与中国特色政治词汇是怎样被翻译成英文的，以及在翻译中采用了哪些翻译的策略。本论文以习参加2014年APEC组织会议时所发表的4篇演讲作为研究基础，从翻译目的论的角度进行了深入研究，作者发现译者在翻译文化负载词汇和中国特色政治词汇时采用了意译的方法力求达到演讲者的目的；但是如果直译并不会阻碍译者目的的传达时，译者通常都会采取直译的翻译策略。
