Chinese characteristic vocabulary has strong expressive power and rich cultural connotations, so the translation of characteristic cultural vocabulary is an important way to tell a good Chinese story, showcase a three-dimensional China, and enhance international discourse power. Guided by the third space theory and combined with the heterogeneity of Chinese culture, the article constructs the third space and adjusts negotiations in the third space, to create different Chinese English, reflect the characteristics of Chinese culture, and make contributions to the dissemination of Chinese culture and the improvement of China's international discourse power.
