The emergence and rise of each specific stylistic type are often matched with its corresponding functions and specific situations. According to the theory of system function, situational context is mainly divided into three types: discourse scope, discourse tone and discourse mode. Discourse content is mainly a category of research content form, which generally covers three aspects: news English, scientific and technological English and legal English. With the rapid development of network technology, both paper books and English news media on the Internet can be seen everywhere. Readers can browse and read a large amount of news English materials through official websites, periodicals, magazines, WeChat official accounts and so on. In the process of reading, the target language readers will inevitably encounter a variety of difficulties and obstacles. Therefore, as a translator, we need to further understand and master the functions, features and Chinese translation characteristics of various stylistic types in order to help readers absorb knowledge and broaden their horizons. Next, based on the functional equivalence theory proposed by Eugene A. Nida, this paper will analyze the stylistic features of news English on websites and official accounts from the three dimensions of phase, vocabulary and syntax, and further understand the Chinese translation characteristics of this type of text. It is hoped that this article can help people to have a deeper understanding of the stylistic features of news English, and to read and analyze the original text.
