Abstract
With the development of Internet, network language as a new linguistic phenomenon has caused wide concern in society. With the further study of network language, people begin to bring attention to another linguistic phenomenon---network catchwords. As a special language variant, the network catchwords take on cultural connotation out of semantic features.
In the translating the Chinese net languages into English, the translators may encounter some problems. In this paper, there are mainly four problems: (1) zero of equivalent word; (2) conflict of word meaning; (3) the same image with different metaphorical meanings; (4) different styles. Meanwhile, there are mainly four translation methods of Chinese net catchwords: literal translation, free translation, interpretation and substitution. In the future, we should keep track of the latest development in net catchwords; meanwhile, the translator should transfer the network catchwords to the target language accurately and efficiently.
