The hedges theory proposed by G. Lakoff is widely used in various discourses for outward propaganda texts. To effectively explore the English translation techniques of various types of the hedges in outward propaganda texts, a bilingual Chinese-English parallel corpus is introduced into the research, and on this basis, contrasting with the correspondent English translation, the types of the hedges are divided comprehensively into 2 and further into 6 in detail. The research reveals that, various types and uneven distribution of the hedges are there in outward propaganda texts conventionally, and to translate the hedges, methods and techniques such as reorganization, retroversion, conversion, addition and deletion are commonly used, but still some distinctions are there in the using rate of these techniques for each individual type of the hedges, and all of the certain distinctions are discussed in this paper. Therefore, the research is not only relatively significant for English translation teaching, but also practically significant for English translating techniques research in various scenes.
