This thesis summarizes the corresponding translation techniques and strategies and concludes the findings and limitations through this translation practice. In terms of words selection, cultural background and language expression of both source languages and target languages are taken into full account for faithful translation. When translating sociology terminologies, this thesis follows the principle of accuracy, transparency, monosemy, uniformity, conventionality and simplicity. In terms of quotations translation, consulting relevant foreign literature is superior to doing back-translation. After identifying the strong internal logical relation, division is adopted to translate complex sentences.
