Abstract
With the development of economic globalization and China’s socialist market economy, the exchange of China and foreign countries has become increasingly frequent, which greatly needs the translation of foreign legal documents into Chinese. Legal translation becomes an important medium of legal communication among different countries. Accuracy is the most prominent features of legal translation which demands the translation to conform to the features of the target legal language as well as to keep the connotation of source language. Legal term is the most important part of legal language and its translation directly influences the quality of legal translation. Peter Newmark proposes the strategies of semantic translation and communicative translation, which provides new angle of view for translating legal terms.
The thesis first gives an overview of the previous studies of legal terms, and then introduces the definition and features of terms from the perspective of Ontology. What’s more, it discusses the features and translation principles of legal terms. Finally, the thesis discusses the translation of legal terms according to semantic translation and communicative translation proposed by Newmark.
