Moment in Peking is a great work with many cultural translation elements. Due to Lin Yutang’s bilingual cultural background and exquisite language skills, the work has achieved the success in the textual communicative function as well as in spreading Chinese culture to the world. The paper analyses three cultural elements, such as character appellation culture, social customs, and religious culture from the perspective of Relevance Theory. Meanwhile, discussions are also combined with translation strategies to dig out the guidance of “Best Relevance” towards cultural translation.
