The emergence of neo-vocab with Chinese characteristics is closely related with all aspects of our social life, and thus the dissemination of Chinese culture should be paid attention to during the translation of those words. Because of sedimentary of historical culture in language environment and life experience of language users, it’s rather hard to apply abundant association which is derived from the use of language and transplants it into another language vividly. It requires the translator not only to deeply understand the emotional and associative meaning of the original context from semantic and cultural aspects, but also to grasp the unique cultural modes and life styles of original context in the pragmatic culture level accurately. Meanwhile, we should make every endeavor to cultivate ourselves, to keep up with the pace of the rapid development of the era and learn more about newly-emerged cultural knowledge. Only in this way can much more cultural information be loaded into the C-E translation and make greater contribution to the foreign interaction.
