本文分析当前时代下中国社会文化热词英译的现状及存在的问题；通过讨论作品中文化词翻译的成功案例，并结合相关问卷调查反馈意见，总结评述了几种有效的翻译方法。论文指出汉语社会文化词英译时，在文化上应坚持保留中国社会文化元素的立场，在语言上，应视读者的接受能力，灵活采用不译（音译）、释义、描述、意译、替换等各种转换方法。同一个词的翻译并非一成不变，可以与时俱进，翻译的最终目的是传递真实的中国形象。

This paper discusses the status quo of the English translations of Chinese social and Cultural words. By analyzing some successful renderings of culture-loaded expressions in literary and classic works, together with the feedbacks from a relevant survey, the author argues that in translating Chinese Cultural and Social words, the core social and cultural elements should be maintained; while from the linguistic perspective, different translation methods like transliteration, interpretation, free translation, and replacement should be adopted to facilitate the understanding of target audience. The translation of a certain expression is to be updated with the change of time.
