With the further development of China’s economic strength and international influence, people around the world want to know China deeply. Meanwhile, China hopes to take the initiative to win recognition and respect from the international community. The translation of party and government document is an important way for the international community to understand China’s basic national conditions and governance concepts. Report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China belongs to the prty and governmrnt document and has great authority, which involves a great number of words with a high degree of abstraction and generality. There are many literary expressions in the report, such as Chinese idioms, proverbs and other characteristic phrases. Target readers will have emotional resonance when reading the language with literary features. Therefore, when translating, the translator not only needs to express the meaning of the aesthetic object, that is, the original text, but also needs to convey the rhetoric, imagery, and emotional features it contains. This paper takes the report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China as an example to analyze the literariness, literary features and emotional expressions in the translation of party and government document. By citing the literary cases in the report, the paper will analyze the emotional expressions and then put forward some suggestions and opinions. Therefore, through faithfully reproducing the literariness and affective expression of the party and government documents is helpful for other countries all over the world to better understand China.
