In the speech of China’s leaders, languages are concise, accurate and precise and the views are objective. In terms of the structure, there is a fixed opening and closing, speech content also has certain regularity. However, in the speeches of China’s leaders, because of unique culture and national conditions of China and the differences between Chinese and English languages, there will be a lot of Chinese-specific expressions, idioms and non-subject sentences in interpreting. Foreign audiences without Chinese culture background information are hard to understand these words and non-subject sentences. So these are the difficulties for interpreters.
