The criteria also have special requirements to news translation on the basis of the general translation theories. Truthfulness and being esthetically pleasant are two generally acceptedcriteria for news style to fit for the informative functions of news.

　　The translation of news is really a hard task to fulfill, for journalistic English is quite different from English of other styles, whether on the lexical level or on the tense. Midget words, clipped Words and acronyms are often used in news to make the news more vivid and genuine, at the same time, attract more readers. Tense in English news has already been remarkably different from the conventional grammatical norm. In order to stretch the immediacy the simple present tense is adopted to indicate past and present. The infinitive is employed to indicate future. Certain literary devices are applied in order to appeal to the readers’ interests.

　　The work of news translation will improve with opening up to the outside world and increasing of communication with the outside world. The study of news translation still has a long way to go. It is hoped that the importance of this study will stimulate others to go on investigating and make new developmet.
