Abstract:Translation of news from Chinese to English is much complicated than the translation of other genres. There is a great disparity between the ideology and practice of the news and also a marked difference between high-context culture and low context culture. Besides, news on TV has its own features to be noticed by translators. As a result, trans-writing comes to the forefront as the best choice for C-E news translation. Trans-writing means some necessary writing and editing in the normal course of translation. The strategy covers the translation of the title, the lead, and the body of the news. But there must be a delicate control of degree in news rewriting and editing, to ensure the realization of the very purpose of the news in the original.
