Abstract

Based on the variational translation theory, this study selects the bilingual headlines of China Daily in 2023 as samples. From the perspective of the variational translation theory, this study analyzes the examples by using the three techniques of “adding”, “deleting” and “narrating” in the variational translation theory, and explores the application of the variational translation theory in the translation of news headlines, in order to provide new perspectives and ideas for the translation of news headlines.
