Abstract Word conversion refers to the phenomenon that one certain word class can be directly used as another word class without any form change of the original word. It has always been a hot topic in linguistics research at home and abroad and plays a significant role as an important method in English-Chinese translation. Generally speaking, it is hard to achieve one-to-one correspondence of word class in the process of translation. Therefore, word conversion should be used to make the translation more fluent and reasonable without changing the meaning of the original sentence. By using qualitative method and quantitative method to explain different cases, this paper presents the comparative systematic skills of word conversion. The research results help translators deal with some difficulties in English-Chinese translation so as to improve the quality of translation.

I. Introduction
Word conversion is one significant method in English-Chinese translation. Eugene A. Nida, the American translation theorist, holds that “Translation consists in the reproduction in the receptor language of the message of the source language in such a way that the receptors in the receptor language may be able to understand adequately how the original receptor of the source language understood the original message”(Nida 10). So how to seek the equivalence becomes the important step in the process of “reproduction”. There is no doubt that it refers to the conversion of word class.
There are so many excellent translation theorists. Linguistics and scholars have made great contribution on this study and received great achievements. Even though some studies has been made, those are still far from enough yet, for nothing has been done for researching concrete examples and summarizing systematic techniques of word-class shift. Based on the collected references, the author, far from being knowledgeable and experienced in related theories and practices, is trying her best in this paper to describe and explain the conversion by analyzing examples and learning from literature, hoping to contribute a little bit the relevant researches. 试论英汉翻译中的词类转换技巧:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_53472.html
