摘　 要

新词语的形成和发展与其所依附的社会和文化休戚相关。新闻报刊，作为快捷的大众传播媒介，在国与国之间的政治文化交流中架起一座桥梁。然而在翻译实践中如何突破文化障碍从而忠实有效地传达新词的信息依然是个难题。本论文以中文报刊新词翻译为载体，德国功能主义目的论为主要的理论框架，针对新词英译中出现的各种问题，及文化差异设置的障碍，通过列举近几年出现的翻译实例，对新词的翻译进行了较为深入的研究，从而找到在中文报刊新词翻译中最恰当的翻译方法。希望通过这一研究能帮助报刊翻译者在报刊中把信息和思想更加准确地传递给外国读者，使新闻翻译工作能在国际交流中发挥更好的作用。

Abstract

The formation and development of a neologism has a close relationship with its society and culture. In the process of the communication and transmitting information of politics, technology and education between different countries and regions, newspaper, as a quick and convenient means of mass media, serves as a bridge. However, in translating practice, how to clear the cultural barriers and to convey the information from the source language faithfully and smoothly is still a difficult issue. This thesis makes a research on the problems in the process of news neologism translation from the perspective of German functionalist skopos translation theory. And with a large number of translation examples of news neologisms, some translation strategies have been provided to deal with the difficulties caused by cultural barriers. This research could help press translators express the information and ideas to foreign readers more appropriately and successfully, so that the mass media can function better.

1 Introduction
As a quick and convenient means of mass media, newspaper plays a major role in propagating newly emerging things and at the same time spreading numerous neologisms. These new words not only enrich people’s everyday vocabulary but also endow people with new expressive abilities in communication. And news neologisms are playing a more and more significant role in international communication.
However, up till now, the works concerning neologisms translation are mainly C-E and E-C dictionaries, which are not only without high-rate accuracy but also difficult for people to understand because of a shortage of detailed explanations. Thus, it is a demanding urgent task to explore continually both theory and practice in neologism translation.
