Abstract With the development of network, our Internet is flooding with new terms. And these internet neologisms have been used widely in people’s daily life. Generally, the internet neologisms are contemporary, abundant, interactive, novel, multifarious, facetious and concise. However, the differences between China and western countries also bring translating troubles. Therefore, in order to reappear the connotation of original language’s culture in the target language exactly and vividly, this thesis applies functional equivalence to the translation of internet neologism. Besides, it sums up three effective translation methods of transliteration, literal translation and paraphrase, attempting to deal with communication barriers and cultural conflicts in the translation of internet neologism.61493

1. Introduction
With the development of globalization, Internet Neologism becomes the vital part of information exchange among different countries, and the application of computer technology has spread to every corner of life, people surf the internet wherever they are, whether through a laptop or telephone. Gradually, some new terms related to the phenomena spring up, involving both new things and certain tough problems. Therefore, the quality of translation of Internet Neologism will directly affect the communication between China and other countries. So it is necessary to make a profound study of Chinese translation of Internet Neologism. What’s more, the constant endless occurance of new network terms make it rather urgent to find a better way to translate them and make our communication more and more liable.
Throughout history, many theories have been put out to solve translation problems. To translate Internet Neologisms effectively, some theories must be chosen to guide translation, though it is hard to select from so many schools of translation theories. Among them, from the practical use of new terms, Nida’s functional equivalence is the best option, because it focuses on receptor’s reaction. Nida supports that the response between the target language and original language should be substantially the same, which means the translation should have almost the same effect as the original one. He puts particular emphasis on the beauty and the form of language in the translation.源:自/751-·论,文'网·www.751com.cn/ 功能对等下的网络新词英译:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_67282.html
