Peter Newmark's theory of communicative translation considers that communicative translation is more suitable for informative texts. Newmark's theory of communicative translation believes that communicative translation is more suitable for informative texts, and he puts more emphasis on the reader's feelings. Translators should make full use of the advantages of the target language, so that the translation and the original text can reach a consensus on the effect, rather than sticking to the form and style of the original text. This paper analyses a translated text of literature and travel information based on Newmark's theory of communicative translation, expecting that this article can provide relevant scholars with some relevant texts to be analysed.
