摘    要
 本文笔者将从探讨中式英语现象的角度来审视十七大报告文本的英文翻译，认为汉语政治文本通常带有明显的汉语语言文化特色。由于翻译此类文本的宗旨是忠实于原文，它的译文往往不可避免地会产生中式英语现象。其原因有三：一是带有中国特色的新词语新提法难以从英文词典中找到现成的对应词；二是对忠实原文的要求更严，为了政治上保险容易套用中文结构亦步亦趋，导致译文机械呆板；三是行文中并列谓语或并列短句居多，句型单一，用词抽象重复，译文更易结构松散，枯燥晦涩。因此，笔者将从培养正确的英语思维习惯、注意区分中西政治文化差异以及正确理解有中国特色的政治新词等方面提出减少和避免中式英语现象的对策, 以使英语的运用更为地道，从而达到预期的交流效果。

ABSTRACT
 This article aims to make a research on Chinglish in the English report of the 17th National Congress of CPC. Its original Chinese version usually has typical Chinese characteristics. The translations of such kind of political texts should be highly faithful to the original texts, and it is very hard to completely avoid Chinglish in translation. The reasons are as follows: First, it is difficult to find the equivalent words from English dictionary to translate some new expressions in Chinese; second, due to the requirement of strict faithfulness in political translation, Chinese sentences are apt to be translated mechanically; third, this kind of articles use many parallel structures or predicate phrases with abstract expressions, which make their translation loose and heavy reading. Therefore, the author will give some effective countermeasures to reduce or avoid Chinglish in the English report, such as cultivating the ability of English thinking, learning to distinguish the cultural differences between China and western countries, and having a precise understanding of the new expressions with Chinese characteristics. With these solutions, Chinese people can use more authentic English freely and help with our anticipated communication.
