Abstract

Due to cultural differences, Chinese address terms are more complicated than English address terms, and the number of Chinese address terms are much more than English address terms. It is hard to find equivalent English address terms for some Chinese address terms with unique Chinese culture in translation. The present author discussed four pieces of strategies of translating Chinese address terms into English in teaching, and called for college English teachers to guide their students to understand cultural differences between Chinese and English address terms and to use the strategies in translating Chinese address terms into English.
