If the interpreter is able to employ translation strategies and techniques to prepare accordingly, it does good to the interpreter, bettering the preparation prior to the conference, mitigating the on-the-spot pressure of the interpreter, and playing a remedial role at critical time.2) Though the hegemony of the English language has reached out to each corner of the world, English has a big role to play in sending the voice of China to the outside world, strengthening and showing the soft power of China, and deepening the communication and understanding between China and the rest of the world, if China can make use of it. The audience attending conferences is limited, but the Internet users to which English can reach out is unlimited. In this case, excellent target texts is conducive to the world’s better understanding of China.Referencing Peter Newmark’s text function theory, the translator categorizes the source text as informative and vocative. Then, specific functions of the source text decide the translation method to be employed. Peter Newmark divides translation methods into semantic translation and communicative translation, and points out that communicative translation is suitable for informative text and vocative text, therefore, on a macro level, the translator adopts communicative translation. While using concrete translation techniques, the translator bears in mind one point, which is putting the readership and the addressee first. It is in this way that the translator introduces the translation strategies and methods in translating Chinese speech scripts.
