Abstract: Relevance theory—the theoretical basis of cognitive pragmatics believes that linguistic communication is intrinsically a indicative-inferential process.The speaker provides the most relevant information,and the listener infers from the information by the linguistic context or cognitive environment,chooses the most relevant assumption,gets the optimal relevance,correctly understands the intention of the speaker,and achieves the success of communication.As a special linguistic communication activity,translation involves three communicators and two indicative-inferential processes.The translator acts as the bridge and medium between the original writer and the translation reader,so the translator should adopt probable translation strategies to help the translation reader find the most relevance between the original and the translation discourse and context,and achieve the best communicative effect.
