External publicity, a vital part of international communication, has been attached importance to the international communication. With the improvement of the English education in China, the translation quality of publicity materials has been enhanced. However, problems arise when some texts though grammatically correct, are culturally incorrect or unintelligible, especially the common phenomenon of Chinglish in translations of publicity materials. Chinglish was a distorted English and would be gradually reduced or eradicated along with the wide use of English and Chinese English learners‟constant examination of the English used by themselves.[1]The author of this paper agrees that Chinglish exerts negative influence on the quality of translations of publicity materials as well as the effect of external publicity, therefore it needs improvement. This paper studies Chinglish in Chinese-English translation by discussing its definition, causes and solutions with a large number of examples. This paper will first discuss the sense of external publicity, then the current situation of translations of publicity materials, finally，the phenomenon of Chinglish in translations of publicity materials and its translation strategies.2．The sense of external publicityExternal publicity, a kind of cross-cultural communication behavior, is to transmit her culture in foreign languages, which refers to a translation but is not confined to the translation. In China, external publicity just means to transmit the Chinese culture in foreign language. Since English is the major language, the English cultural environment is the main target to research. However, the traditional idea of external publicity, the outdated system and mechanism of our external publicity, the lack of the research of our external publicity, the special external publicity object, the complicated international state and the severe competition of international transmission media are the main factors that impact the actual effect of our external publicity.2.1The definition of external publicityIn Chinese, the phrase “dui wai xuan chuan (对外宣传)” refers to communication with foreigners and publicity of China to the rest of the world. “宣传”means explaining a situation to the mass of people and disseminating truth among them[2]. It is a neutral word without any negative connotations.The definition of external publicity contains two-level of meaning, that is broad meaning and narrow meaning. In the broad speaking, it means to publicize outside the own area. In the narrow speaking, it means to carry out publicity activities towards foreign countries and foreign areas. To be specific, it is a kind of activity to publicize and spread the Chinese information, the Chinese understandings, views as well as standpoint of international events. It is a special and external-oriented international communication; in the meanwhile, it is a political and cross-cultural work. Because it characterized by not only the media to publicize news, knowledge as well as information, etc., but also the method to change or impact the values, views as well as attitudes of the public.In A Dictionary of Chinese Press Neologisms with English Translation,“对外宣传”is translated as“international communication; publicizing China overseas”. For the sake of convenience, the present thesis will adopt the term “publicity targeted at foreign audiences”for“对外宣传”,and“publicity materials”for“对外宣传材料”[3].2.2Classification of publicity materialsIn a broad sense, the translation of publicity materials, as a cross-cultural activity, includes all Chinese-English translation in the fields of foreign affairs, cultural exchanges, business and trade, science and technology, etc. But the present paper will mainly discuss the translation of publicity materials in a narrow sense. It particularly refers to the translation of political documents and economic literature of enterprises. These materials mostly provide non-specialized information to the general audience and publicize China to foreigners.Duan Liancheng[4]distinguishes between two kinds of publicity materials, that is, ordinary materials and formal materials. In his opinion, ordinary publicity materials refers to materials to promote foreigners‟understanding of China, including materials on politics, economy, society, culture, history, people‟ s life, scenic spots and historic sites in the forms of reports in newspapers, magazines or books, brochures, leaflets or even free talks with foreigners. The target readers of such materials are ordinary foreigners or overseas Chinese who do not speak Chinese. More formal materials refer to official documents, formal talks and works of high ranking officials, diplomatic talks and economic and trade contracts, legal instruments as well as scientific and technological exchanges.2.3Features of publicity materialsFirst, publicity covers a wide range of field, such as politics, economy, culture, social development, tourism, to mention only a few.Publicity materials tend to be filled with political slogans, jargons or expressions with Chinese characteristics, all of which are especially common in political writings and government publications. With the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy, many new policies have been introduced and many new phenomena have popped up, bringing with them a lot of expressions that were unheard of before to both Chinese and foreign readers. Names of the policies or projects with numerals for succinctness constitute some of the biggest challenges for translators. For example:“豆腐渣”工程“jerrybuilt”（偷工减料建成的，质量低劣的犹如“豆腐渣”般的建筑工程，其中的“豆腐渣”正好与英语中的“jerrybuilt”构成对应词），“三高农业”（高产量、高效益、高技术农业）“three highs”agriculture (high yield, high quality and high efficiency agriculture)，“三个代表”“three representatives”(中国共产党始终代表中国先进生产力的发展要求、中国先进文化的前进方向、中国最广大人民的根本利益）Second, publicity materials in Chinese tend to contain a lot of pompous words, modifiersand flowery expressions that need "slimming" in the English version.For example:中华大地，江河纵横;华夏文化，源远流长……轻快的龙舟如银河流星，瑰丽的彩船似海市蜃楼，两岸那金碧辉煌的彩楼连成一片水晶宫，是仙境?是梦境?仰视彩鸽翩飞，低眸漂灯流霓，焰火怒放，火树银花，灯舞回旋，千姿百态，气垫船腾起一江春朝，射击手点破满天彩球，跳伞健儿绽空中花蕾，抢鸭勇士谱水上凯歌……啊，XX城是不夜城，龙舟会是群英会。
