Based on the theory of translational action of the functionalism, this paper selects three aspects, translation as an inter-cultural and communicative action, a purposeful text-processing action and an inter-personal action, to analyze the important issues as well as the translation strategies, methods and techniques adopted in the translation of Chinese allusions. The study shows that the theory of translational action is important for the translation of allusions and that it helps to modify the target text. The translator, also the author of this paper, hopes that this study will be useful for the translation of allusions and the publicity of traditional Chinese culture across the world.
