Type: article
Abstract: This paper selects the Chinese white paper China’s Armed Forces: 30 Years of UN Peacekeeping Operations to make a study of the translation methods of the Chinese culture-loaded words in Chinese white paper. Based on Eugene A. Nida’ s classification of culture, culture-loaded words are commonly divided into five categories: material, ecological, social, linguistic and religious culture-loaded words. For culture-loaded words from different cultural fields, different translation methods should be chosen. And the translation of culture-load words in Chinese white paper should balance both cultural and information transmission. If it cannot do both, priority should be given to the information transmission.
