Abstract

Pragmatic translation is a kind of new translation theory,which corresponds to semantic translation. It aims at dealing with the problems of pragmatic equivalence in translation,that is,the pragmatic comparison in translation is carried out. Pragmatics involving in translation,especially the integration of pragma-linguistic equivalent translation and socio-pragmatic equivalent translation and the relationship between pragmatic implicature and context,has provided us with a kind of theoretical foundation with deep significance. And it has also offered us a new theory mode to interpret the various contradictory phenomena in translation from a new angle.
