With the popularity of English learning in the world, the demand for instructional materials is increasing, and how to accurately convey the information of these texts to English-learners and provide the learners with an effective learning experience has become a major problem. Therefore, the role of the translator is crucial. It is found that that translators should make linguistic choices based on the text functions and target readers’ expectations, and flexibly adopt the translation strategies, such as addition, conversion, and cohesion to convey the intention of the source author and generate the source context accurately and appropriately. Applying relevant theories to the analysis of translation cases, the paper tentatively puts forward solutions to the problems encountered in the E-C translation of chapter one of Murder Your Darlings and Other Gentle Writing Advice from Aristotle to Zinsser. Hopefully, it could provide a reference for other translators working on instructional texts.
