ABSTRACT

This article talks about translation under the guidance of Skopos Theory to deal with nominalization and hedges in order to make the conversion of Chinese and English more fluent. Based on the Skopos Theory, the translators can give a smoother translation to the target text and maintain the original meaning as much as possible. Pay attention to the nominalization and the hedge is what the Chinese audience needs.
