内容摘要
翻译，是指在准确通顺的基础上，把一种语言信息转变成另一种语言信息的活动。在翻译实践过程中会频繁地遇到词汇空缺现象,词汇空缺现象就是一种语言能用单个词语或者组合词组可以清晰表示的事物,而另一种异国语言却因为无法在本族语中找到相对等的词组，要换种说法才能委婉表达。如果译者不了解词汇空缺现象,势必会给跨文化交流带来障碍
所以说在英汉语的翻译中，词汇空缺是译者经常遇到的一大阻碍。在本文中，作者对在翻译实践的过程中遇到的词汇空缺的问题进行了分析，并分别采用了音译法、直译法、改编法和意译法，转借法和加注法六种翻译策略对英汉互译中的词汇空缺现象进行了处理。最终结果显示这些策略可以有效地解决英汉互译中的词汇空缺问题。
