Spanning a long history, translation activities have played a vital role in bridging the west and the east, promoting the communicating and mutual trust with each other.

As the source information is an explanatory text, it is inevitable that specific but complex sentence structures are frequently used. Given the fact that China has been playing an influential part in
8、the international community and the issues under discussion are related to its national interest of development, accurate translation of such texts has become increasingly crucial for relevant sectors to refer to. As a result, a theory which could have some useful guidance on the translation process
9、 is desperately required. In the process of this translation practice, the translator have found that the Skopostheorie useful, which has provided her a new perspective to view the whole translation process. According to the Skopostheorie theory, translation must achieve equivalence in result. In de
10、aling with the problems of mistranslation, the principle of accuracy is also provided in the paper. This paper intends to study the application of the Skopostheorie in the translation practice in dealing with the mistranslation phenomenon. The translator hopes that this experience can provide some i
11、nsight for translators in the future. 2Theoretical framework 2.1 Skopos theory Skopostheorie is an approach to translation proposed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Reiss and by “transferring the meaning”, they mean that the translation conveys the ST information to the TT reader. According to B
12、eekman and Callow (1989: 34), “only as the translator correctly understands the message, can he begin to be faithful”, and it is only then that “he can translate clearly then, there is a need for a careful check regarding the accuracy of the translation. According to Khomeijani Farahani (2005: 77-78
13、), based on what Larson proposed in 1984, the process of evaluating the accuracy of translation can be done in this way, which is recognizing the key words of the ST and their equivalences in the TT and comparing how close they are; i.e. determining whether the translator could convey the same and e
14、xact meaning of the ST by selecting the best target equivalents and whether s/he could achieve an acceptable accuracy or not. Consequently, the term translation accuracy refers to the translators understanding of the message of the ST and that how accurately the translator has managed to translate a
15、 text from one language into another. English and Chinese are different from each other, both linguistically and culturally. English is an inflectional language, and the words are naturally formed through affixation. Accuracy and effectiveness at the lexical and phrasal level rely much on morphology
16、. In contrast, the Chinese language is a completely analytical language and words are formed mainly through amalgamation. Accuracy and effectiveness rely both on word and formation and word meaning. That difference is obvious in dealing with abstract ideas. English language is an Indo European language that is partially inflectional and highly word- order dependent. English written language may contain some spoken-like chunks, but this depends
