The omnipotent word dǎ has rich meanings, and is frequently used in the coverage of president Xi. However, the former translation materials concerned with this word were quite outdated and few people have provided the systematic English translation of this word. Under the guidance of Context Theory, the paper analyzes the contexts of the new phrases containing dǎ and provided the corresponding translation versions on the basis of maintaining the Chinese characteristics to the uttermost. Hopefully the paper will be useful and referential for the translation strategies and techniques of the word dǎ.
