Unique Chinese words are those lexical words which can reflect Chinese culture, exhibit Chinese connotations and radiate Chinese flavor. Chinese-specific words are unique to the Chinese and nowhere in the world can find equivalents for such words perfectly. Having no cultural equivalents in the English speaking culture, particular Chinese expressions require a keen cultural awareness and use of appropriate strategies in order to accomplish a satisfactory and accurate translation. Foreignization can break the conventions of target language and retaining the foreignness of source language, is the basic strategy for cultural translation. Furthermore, the foreignization translation of chinese culture-specific words give it a mission of transmitting Chinese culture to the world，which to some extent enriches English vocabulary and expression both in building the bridge between English and Chinese and promoting the development of English itself. KEY WORDS Chinese culture-specific words; domestication; foreignization 内容摘要 由于文化差异，语言之间的不可译性成为翻译界一个永久性的问题。中国文化特色词语传播中国特色，展示汉语内涵，反映中国文化。具有中国特色的词汇在西方文化中找不到对等词汇，成为汉英翻译中的一大难题。在处理源语文化与目的语文化有较大差异的词汇时，主要有两种翻译方法：归化和异化。 本文通过对比研究认为异化翻译策略能打破目标语习惯，保留源语的异国风味，是翻译中国特色词汇的基本策略。同时，中国文化特色词语的异化翻译丰富了英语的表达方式，不仅为汉英语言的沟通架设桥梁，而且对英语这一国际通用语言的发展也起到了促进作用。 关键词 中国文化特色词语；归化；异化 CONTENTS 1.
