中文摘要：新闻反映社会文化的最新动态，新闻翻译不仅仅是语言层面的简单对等，而是要将源语言所承载的深刻文化内涵展现出来，从而达到最佳的传播效果。为达到这一目的，在新闻翻译过程中，译者要特别注意翻译策略，因为策略立足于文化层面的价值取向。本课题旨在找出新闻翻译典故处理中的一些规律性的东西，概括出处理策略和具体方法，以使新闻翻译更有章可循。同时为新闻翻译提供借鉴与参考，强调在翻译实务中跨文化意识和文化素养的重要性。
新闻翻译要特别注意词语所蕴含的文化。外刊阅读理解的难度往往不在文字本身，而在于文化干扰。报刊题材广泛，内容丰富，涉及英语国家地理环境、政治体制、外交事务、军备状况、科技发展、文教事业、社会状况、经济贸易、健康医疗和生活风尚等。报刊语言中渗透着这些国家民族的行为准则、价值观念、风俗习惯、人际关系、精神风貌、民众心态和思维特征等。所以报刊实际上反映的是动态的、发展中的文化。词语中的文化内涵比较丰富。
在新闻翻译中，因为中西方历史、习俗、文化的差异，导致跨文化理解存在困境，而典故翻译无疑是其中重要一环。正确处理新闻翻译中的文化典故，主要有归化、异化、两种方法并用等策略。这对超越文化困境，促进中西方新闻理解、交流具有重大意义。
