“Memes” translation theory has been applied in translation practice, especially in the field of ESP (English for
Specific Purposes) translation. In view of this, based on the relevant “memes” translation theory and the
professional module positioning expressed by ESP, this article analyzes ESP language memes analysis and
illustrates some related translation strategies employed in ESP Chinese-English translating practice properly, such
as direct translation and indirect translation, semantic translation and communicative translation, foreignizing
translation and domesticating translation, etc.
