ABSTRACT
Nowadays in the Chinese language, vogue words and expressions on the Internet have penetrated into people’s life. Specialists and scholars keen on studying buzzwords and catchphrases note that they have features of the contemporary era in word-formation, pronunciation and usage. These features, especially the homophonic phenomenon of them, cause a lot of difficulties to the C-E translation of these words and expressions.
By applying translation stylistics, this paper clarifies the language features of and the translation strategies for homophonic vogue words and expressions in the Chinese language. The translation strategies explored here in details include explanatory translation, back translation, and transcription and transliteration. Sometimes the homophonic features of a vogue word or expression may be omitted to achieve the cross-cultural communicative effect of translation.
