This study explores the translation of business English contracts from English to Chinese from the perspective of functional equivalence. The functional equivalence theory involves three aspects of functional equivalence: lexical equivalence, sentential equivalence, and textual equivalence. As far as translation is concerned, translators adopt different translation techniques for different types of texts, striving to achieve equivalence in lexical, sentential, and textual functions. Therefore, translators are to recognize the different characteristics of business English contracts and highlight English translation styles and characteristics with the help of the functional equivalence theory.
