This thesis discusses different rhetorical functions of restrictiverelative clauses and non-restrictive relative clauses respectively,combined with the analysis of typical cases in translation practice. The author will first introduce the definition and rhetorical functions of relative clauses, and analyse differences of attributives in English and Chinese. Then the author will give a brief introduction of Newmark’s communicative translation theory and mainly talk about translating methods that have been applied,namely translating into a pre-modifier, translating into a coordinate clause,translating into an independent sentence and translating into an adverbial clause. After the analysis of the approaches to translating relative clauses with different rhetorical functions, author has a better understanding of relative clauses,which can bring some suggestions and insights for both the author and readers.
