China’s growing role in world affairs has led to increasing contacts with other countries, and greater international interest in Chinese politics, economics, and culture. For decades, translation from English into Chinese has been extremely popular in China, resulting in a large corpus of translated works, mostly by native speakers of Chinese, which is the optimal situation since one usually works best translating into one’s mother tongue. Today though, translation in the opposite direction from Chinese into English has also begun to expand exponentially, but due to the shortage of native English speakers with sufficient Chinese proficiency, this task has fallen largely to native Chinese speakers who are thus working into their foreign language Their efforts have indeed helped to tell the world about China’s complex society, rapid economic development rich history,and glorious culture but the translations have not always produced the desired effect.The stiff clumsy style known as “Chinglish” is often confusing and awkward, while some translations have even managed to turn a serious message into a joke.
