ABSTRACT

Adaptation theory provides a coherent framework for pragmatic and translation on studies. It not only has strong explanatory power for translation, but also has guiding significance for translation practice. In this paper, The English translation of the White Paper on China and the World Trade Organisation is analyzed from the perspective of adjustment theory, including contextual adjustment, structural adjustment, dynamic adjustment and the place value of adjustment.The result shows that the adaptation theory plays a guiding role in the translation of the White Paper, and the translator should make dynamic adaptation in both linguistic and non-linguistic dimensions. It hopes that readers will have a more comprehensive understanding of China's economic policy of opening up to the outside world, and international exchanges and the construction of China's image will be promoted.
