Abstract

The interpreting of the cultural images embedded in the metaphors from press conferences in China is considered as one of the most demanding challenges for translators. Under the Functionalist theory, the specific strategies employed may take the target function of the version as well as the addressees’ receiving environment into due consideration. Four types of contexts for retaining the cultural images are discussed with corresponding interpreting strategies. The analysis of the discourse should include the cultural context, situational context, along with the relationship between the discourse and contexts.
