Bycomparing and analyzing the syntax components of their English translation accordingly, theanalysis is mainly about structure type, syntax function, grammar meaning, language order andcultural mentality, to help us master better the rules of changeability between Chinesecomplement and its English translation, so as to improve our foreign teaching methods onChinese.The ifve chapters of this article are as following:Chapter1Introduction summarizes the grammar system of Chinese and English to revealtheir differences closely related to Complement in morphology and syntax.Chapter2analyses the components, semantic types and tendential meanings of ChineseResult Complement, Degree Complement and Modal Complement.Chapter3characterizes the structure components, syntax functions and tendential meaningsof the above mentioned three types of Chinese complements and their English translation inorder to open out the switching rules.Chapter4inquires the formation of Chinese Complement and the reasons of thesyntax-components switching in the Chinese-English translation.Chapter5concludes the article and mentions the limitation of the research.
