The present study mainly aims to explore the formation and translation of English neologisms. English neologisms are mainly created in the following methods: creation of neologism, change of meaning and borrowing. Also, the translation of English neologisms is studied. The methods of translating English neologisms discussed in the present study are literal translation, free translation, transliteration, half transliteration and half free. It is hoped that the study is helpful for English teaching and learning as well as translating.
