This paper tends to apply the cognitive approach to the study of Interpretation for China’s Global Communication (ICGC). In light of theories on cognitive metaphor, the paper proposes some coping tactics for culture-specific metaphors in ICGC and probes into influences of different coping tactics on the transformation of the culture-specific metaphor into the cultural sharing metaphor and the preservation of Chinese cultural images through case analysis, illustrating cognitive creativity of the interpreter in ICGC in their selecting coping tactics. Furthermore, some caliber of the interpreter in ICGC is put forward. The research, in the context of “Chinese culture going global”, has been conducted in hope of guiding the practice of ICGC.
