Abstract Summer Davos is a special kind of economic discourse. Chinese leader’s speech in Summer Davos represents the way and the aim of Chinese economy. The research object in this research is the interpretation of Chinese leader’s speech in Summer Davos. This kind of discourse represents the features of economic discourse, so it is of great significance to do this study. In this paper, the corpus-based discourse analysis methods are mainly applied to study the interpreting texts of Chinese leader’s speech in Summer Davos. The methodology tries to fix up the limitation of a small number of texts and the subjectiveness. In this study, a self-established interpreting corpus CLSSD (corpus of Chinese leader’s speech in Summer Davo from 2008 to 2012) and a self-built CROWG(corpus of report on the work of government from 2008 to 2012) were established. In order to get the discourse features of interpreting in Summer Davo, the study are mainly from lexical level and cohesive devices. In the lexical level, high-frequency words, nouns, modal verbs will be studied . The findings reveal that most of the words in these two corpora are function words. Words expressing personal preferences and opinions are less in the interpreting corpus which implies that the language in interpreting text is more objective and more serious. The frequency of nouns is much higher in the interpreting texts, because the repetition of nouns seems to be dule, it’s not easy to cause ambiguity. In interpreting the repetition of nouns can help audiences to understand the message in short time. Cohesive devices are from conjunctions and pronouns. The findings reveal that the frequency of conjunctions is higher in which the connective conjunctions are used most. It shows that the interpreters tend to use connective structure with easy logical relations and implies the explicitation and simplification of interpreting texts. Pronouns are often used as anaphora which are more cohesive, but pronouns are used
