Abstract Translation is an intercultural communication between two countries with different cultural backgrounds. Because of the differences of legal cultures, the translation of legal texts proves to be a sort of intercultural communication. But nowadays, the studies of legal translation simply focus on the equivalence of legal expression on linguistic level, ignoring the importance of legal cultural context. On the basis of the differences of legal cultures between China and Anglo-American countries and the functions of legal cultural context in the E-C translation of legal texts, this paper discusses the application of domestication and foreignization in E-C translation of legal texts. Firstly, the author gives a general introduction of factors of legal culture, including different histories of law, spirits of law, legal systems and uses of legal language, and analyzes the differences of legal cultures between China and Anglo-American countries.Then the author discusses the functions of legal cultural context in the translation of legal texts, which are absolute function, explanatory function and constraint function. Finally, by using some E-C translation examples of legal texts, the author illustrates the two translation strategies: domestication and foreignization and explores the application of these two translation strategies on lexical level and syntactic level by using some specific translation methods. And the author concludes that by being in compliance with the different legal cultural factors, these two translation strategies are used to narrow the cultural gap in legal translation. Key words: legal cultural context, functions of legal cultural context, domestication, foreignization 摘 要 翻译是一种交际行为，其主要目的是要在不同的文化之间进行沟通与交流，由于不 同国家之间存在着不同的法律文化，因此法律文本翻译也是一种跨文化交际活动。现今 对法律文本翻译的研究多着眼于法律语言的形式，而法律文化语境对法律文本翻译的作 用常常被译者们所忽略。 本文基于英汉法律文化的差异及法律文本汉译中法律文化语境的功能，试图从法律 文化语境的角度论述法律文本汉译中归化与异化翻译策略的应用，首先，本文简要介绍 多种法律文化因素，其中主要包括法的历史，法的精神，法律体系及法律语言的运用， 进而分析中西法文化的差异。然后，作者对法律文本汉译中法
