Government Work Report as an important form of political essay features great significance and distinctive style. With China's rising international status and increasing exchanges, the central and local governments have their English versions of Government Work Report. Accordingly the translation of the reports is building a new platform for the exploration of translation strategies and techniques. This paper reviews the reports from 1954 to 2015, with a focus on the high frequency of "Jianshe" and diverse translation approaches, and explores the reasons for this unique linguistic phenomenon from the cultural and linguistic perspectives. The author conducts a case analysis of Government Work Report from 2011 to 2015 and proposes the translation principles of "exactness for exactness, exactness for fuzziness, fuzziness for fuzziness" and corresponding translation strategies of "literal translation, liberal translation and zero-translation" to make a timely contribution to the related studies.
