This thesis analyzes the applications of the principle of simplification in the author’s translation, which can be categorized into three categories: omission, summarization and simplification.The purpose of this thesis is to draw lessons from the author’s interpreting practice for later reference under the principle of simplification and provide corresponding solutions and references for other peers on improving the quality and efficiency of the translation and further promoting the cultural and economical exchanges in the world.
