Abstract:In regard to the Chinese translation of foreign names, although A Comprehensive Dictionary of Names in Roman-Chinese is a reliable reference, it still falls short when encountering some rare and uncommon names in a given text. Based on examples from the English-Chinese translation of Public Diplomacy, this essay proposes three translation strategies internet search, official site confirmation, and E-mail correspondence to solve the tricky problem. Then, the article argues that, besides the authoritative dictionary, translators should make great use of the convenience of the Internet that can offer accurate and reliable Chinese equivalents, thus shedding a beam of light upon translation studies.
