摘要: 新闻标题作为新闻的“眼睛”，其翻译也必将影响到语言与交际信息的传达效果。中国日报网是中国与世界互相联系的窗口，在我国对外传播媒体中占有极其重要的地位。奈达的功能对等理论追求译文读者获得与原文读者相似的反应，可用于指导新闻这种注重信息传递的文本翻译。本文以中国日报网“双语新闻”栏目近几年的标题为语料库，在功能对等理论的指导下，分析了词汇、句法和修辞三方面的特点，基于这三方面特点，探究了新闻标题的英译方法。经探究表明，译者可基于翻译目的选择合适的翻译策略，进而根据新闻不同的内容灵活运用直译、省译和转译等翻译方法将原文信息准确、地道地传递给英语读者，有助于外国读者了解中国。
Abstract: The translation of news headlines, gateway to news articles, plays a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of language and message communication. Given that China Daily serves as a bridge between China and the global community and plays an essential role in medias for foreign communications. Nida’s functional equivalence theory, which aims to elicit similar responses from readers of translated texts as those of the original, is well-suited to guide the translation of news—a genre focused on information dissemination. This study examines the headlines from the “Bilingual News” column in China Daily in recent years as its corpus and analyzes the lexical, syntactic, and rhetorical features within the framework of functional equivalence theory. The research then investigates English translation methods for news headlines based on these three features. The findings reveal that translators can select appropriate translation strategies according to their objectives and then skillfully employ literal translation, omission, and conversion based on the varying content of the news articles. This approach ensures the accurate and authentic conveyance of the original information to English readers, ultimately aiding foreign readers in understanding China.
