Under the strategic background of “telling the Chinese story”, translation plays an important role in promoting Chinese culture to the world, especially the English translation of terms in Party and government documents. However, cultural default brings many difficulties. So, this paper first introduces the basic concepts, theories and the common phenomena of cultural default in the translation of terms in Party and government books. Then, based on Chinese-English comparison books, this paper puts forward some compensation strategies, such as literal translation with annotation, paraphrase, omission, amplification and corresponding translation. The purpose of this study is to explore practical translation compensation strategies, overcome cultural default, help the Party and government external publicity, and promote the dissemination of Chinese culture.
