This study systematically investigates adverb translation in political texts through quantitative and qualitative analysis under the theoretical framework of “political equivalence,” utilizing the Government Work Report (2001-2024) as its database. The research aims to reveal the evolutionary trajectory of translation strategies across different historical periods and their underlying socio-cultural motivations. Findings demonstrate a notable shift in adverb translation strategies within political texts: transitioning from faithful reproduction to adaptive transformation. Throughout this progression, translations maintain discursive coherence while increasingly conforming to English idiomatic conventions, ultimately achieving dynamic equilibrium between accurate conveyance of political connotations and compliance with target-language norms.
