Abstract: News headlines are the “eyes” of the news. Good news headlines play an important role in attracting readers and condensing news content. In the process of translating news, the translators need to pay more attention to translating the headlines. Under the guidance of communicative translation strategy, combining specific translation examples of news headlines, this article explores the English translation skills of Chinese news headlines. The researcher finally finds out that translators should make use of translation skills like word-to-word translation, amplification and adaptation flexibly, in order to make the translated versions of news headlines in line with the expressing habit of English.
