It is obvious that nominalization happened more frequently in the English version of the Report on the Work of the Government 2014. It is because of the basic differences between these two languages in the process of Chinese-English translation. There are mainly two reasons for the formation of nominalization in the process of Chinese-English translation. One lies in the difference between Chinese and English grammatical structure and the other is the difference in cognitive style between Chinese and Western. It is found that there are more verbs used than nouns and prepositions in Chinese while there are more nouns used in English so that Chinese students always feel confused when they read and translate English sentences and articles.源-自/吹冰+,论^文'网]www.chuibin.com
