Abstract:A large number of various Chinese culture-loaded words emerge on the basis of Chinese special civilization, which contain the charm of traditional and modern culture. Chinese culture-loaded words are also the expression of China's uniqueness. How to popularize Chinese culture via these special terms and how to make Chinese culture adapt to the contemporary society but still keep its distinctive nationalism belong to every Chinese translator’s responsibility. This paper, based on cultural translation theory, aims to undertake a systematic exploration of English translation of Chinese culture-loaded words from a cultural perspective. Then some related information of Chinese culture and Chinese culture-loaded words are provided and the limits of translatability and translation principles are also pointed out in this paper. After that specific translation techniques are suggested such as literal translation, transliteration, free translation and so on. Through the systematic analysis, the author thinks that much more attention should be paid to the translation of Chinese culture-loaded words, and translators need to equip with the cultural awareness in the process of English translation.
