Abstract: With the changing and volatile world situation, the quality of foreign affairs translating plays an increasingly important role in a diplomatic occasion.

The paper aims to figure out the features of China’s foreign affairs translating and demonstrates corresponding translation methods, which can be used for reference and guide in future study.
