Peter Newmark’s semantic translation and communicative translation theories play a guiding role in translation practice. Translating long and difficult English sentences into Chinese has been a focus of study among translators. The paper explores how to translate long and difficult journalistic English sentences into Chinese from the perspective of semantic translation and communicative translation theories, advancing four effective translating strategies for handling long and difficult journalistic English sentences: sequential translation, splitting translation, reversing translation, and recasting translation, so as to improve the readability and faithfulness of the Chinese version.
