The core of Expressive Text is that the original author'sthoughts and the author's personal components constitutethe expressive elements of an Expressive Text. So whentranslating this kind of text, the translator should try to"render, as closely as structures of second language allow,the exact contextual meaning of the original" (Newmark,2001a.. 26).
However, the core of Informative Text is the "truth".The author's status is "anonymous" and the focus of thetext is the target reader's acceptation of information. Thusthe translation strategy for this text type is to "produce onthe target readers an effect as close as that obtained on thereaders of the original" (Newmark, 2001a.. 27), trying to offer the most truthful and accurate information.
As for Vocative Text, because its core is target readers, the status of their authors is not important and the focus of the texts is on target readers' feelings and reaction,calling upon them to act, to think and to feel. When translaring this kind of texts, the translators should follow thereaders' cultural habits and psychological tastes.
