The theory emphasizes that the target readers and original readers should get the same reading experience, rather than the restrictive translation of word by word or sentence by sentence. Under the guidance of communicative translation theory, the report should be faithful to the original content, focus on the expression effect of the translation, and aim to transfer of information effectively.The report consists four parts. The first part introduced the translation project, including a brief introduction of JNC8, the original text, and the significance of the project.

The third part analyzed the concrete translation cases and emphasized the specific translation methods used in the translation report, such as linear translation, inverse translation and division translation. The last part summarized the translation experience, the lessons learned and the problems to be resolved.This report aims to explore the guiding role of communicative translation theory in informative text and searches for the appropriate translation approaches under the guidance of Newmark's communicative translation theory.
