Translation features of the Chinese military slang

Nowadays, the study of the Chinese language is particularly relevant in Russia due to the rapid development of Sino-Russian partnerships and strategic cooperation, as well as Russia’s participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS. Comprehensive military cooperation between the two countries is growing rapidly, which is expressed both in the organization of international military exercises (“East”, “Naval interaction”), International Army Games, and in the exchange of technology and the supply of military and special equipment. In this regard, the profession of a military interpreter of the Chinese language for providing events of this kind is becoming increasingly relevant. We consider the informal level of Chinese language military discourse– military slang. Due to the high level of cooperation and interaction between China and Russia, as well as the poor knowledge of Chinese military slang and informal vocabulary, further development of the topic will play a significant role in improving the methodology of training specialists, military interpreters, as well as in the military discourse study. A description of the phenomenon under consideration will be given, an analysis of a units sample of informal military discourse will be made and their translation will be provided, and a generalized conclusion will be made and the scope of the research results applied.
