In recent years, with globalization advancing, the bestsellers about family and parenting have been receiving lots of attention from Chinese educators and parents. Therefore, the demand for the bestsellers about family and parenting rises. The case study takes Nurture by Nature as the research object, and the target text has been adopted from the first section of the book. Nurture by Nature talks about children's personality type and it is very popular in the filed of foreign education. So the translation of the book will lead Chinese educators and parents to understand the children's personality type, which will help them find the suitable education method for their children.Peter Newmark pointed out that translation is translation of texts, and different text type has their own language features and functions. Therefore, the translator should adopt different translation methods and translation strategies according to different texts, which are defined as communicative translation method and semantic translation method. The first section of Nurture by Nature mainly deals with the personality types of children and has the informative function. During the translation process, the translator mainly uses communicative translation method and semantic translation method based on its language function. Moreover, the translator discusses the theoretical significance of Newmark's translation theory with numerous examples.The purpose and significance of the case study is to explore the translation methods and strategies by translating Nurture by Nature. Finally, the translator will summarize the difficulties and keynotes in the translation process. In addition, the case study focuses on searching the suitable translation methods and strategies, which will give a better understanding for the readers of target language.
