Abstract
The Triangular Model of Interpretive Theory put forward by Paris School is one of the most significant theories nowadays, with which the interpreter can fully comprehend the communicative sense of source language by integrating language knowledge and cognitive complement and re-express the sense in a more acceptable way after deverbalization. Therefore, under the guidance of this theory, this paper mainly revolves around difficulties during interpreting in terms of culturally-loaded terms, redundancy, colloquial expressions, logical fuzziness and paratactic-prominent feature in Chinese and put forward some strategies to tackle those difficulties, including free translation, amplification, omission, sentence reorganization and combination. Each of these strategies can be applied to solve several problems.
