6、 help enhance Chinas international image and raise soft power of our nation. Functional equivalence, proposed by Eugene A. Nida, gives priority to the communication of information and focus its attention on naturalness of translation. As stated in functional equivalence theory, the best translation
7、is the closest natural equivalence to the source language message. The readers of the translated text should be able to receive the information and emotion as what is conveyed in the original text and produce similar psychological reactions as those who read the original, which in this end, to achie

Translators are required to have a good command of functional equivalence to give the translation to a full play, enabling foreign receptors to apprehend what the speech is d
9、elivering. On the basis of functional equivalence theory, this thesis will discuss several characteristics of speeches and the translation of Fu Yings speeches from the standpoint of functional equivalence will be explored.

In this case, translators following the functional equivalence bear the respon

Since then, functional equivalence had created a brand-new era in translation study and was widely adopted by many translators, though its disadvantages remained a further discussion
14、. 1.2 Influences of the TheoryWhat the concept of functional equivalence matters indeed rests on the balance between literal translation and free translation. In traditional translation theory, literal translation pursues faithfulness with the equivalence on languages form as a core , whereas free t
15、ranslation emphasizes aesthetics of effectiveness of translation. By providing a compelling evidence, function equivalence consequently served to be the end of this disputable issue which have lasted for more than 2000 years.It is Nidas functional equivalence that exerts tremendous influence on the translation studies not only in western countries but also in the Asian countries including China. He is commonly considered to be the most influential one among all the contemporary translation theorists.2. The Particularity of English Speech2.1 Brief Outline of Public Speech Public speakin
