And the news dissemination is a principal means to comprehend and to learn this world. During the procedure of cultural blending between China and western countries, news, as a carrier and medium of information dissemination that plays a significant role, within which political news possesses a great portion and attracts much more attention. The report of political news is mainly for the dissemination of the policies and activities referring to the parties and social organizations when they deal with the domestic and international affairs. Due to the political news is much more formal and sensitive among different countries, so the words for English political news should be vivid and concise, and the structures are formalized with logic strengthened. Nevertheless, because of the huge differences of two languages and culture, the political news translation turns not to be a feasible work.
