ABSTRACT

Ever since we entered the age of information globalization, we have witnessed incredible changes brought about by the rapid development of news media. News reports play an even more important role in this era of mass media. It is against this background that the author of this thesis explores the nature and characteristics of news texts. In addition, a large number of sample translations of different types of news reports have been collected as data for discussions of the features and characteristics of typical news texts. Finally, this paper introduces two useful translation strategies of domestication approach and local adaptation, which better helps readers to understand the nature and characteristics of news media English and sheds light on further studies of news English and its application to more varieties of translation studies.
