Abstract
As an important part of international publicity translation, political documents translation is the door for international community to learn about the domestic and foreign policies of China. This paper analyzed the cultural translation strategies for the classical poems concerning “People-Centered” applied in the English version of Xi Jinping on the Governance of China II from the perspective of cultural perspective. Since political translation studies should not only focus on the differences in language but also on cultural connotation and political implication conveyed. Research shows that literal translation, literal plus additive translation, and literal plus free translation could be applied to convey the rich cultural connotations in classical poems in order to achieve intercultural communication and international political publicity.
