As China's foreign science and technology exchanges are increasing, translations of English for science and technology are becoming more and more popular. Figure of speech, as the ontology of language, plays a pivotal role in translation. However, due to the traditional view that figures of speech is irrelevant to English for science and technology, it has not been given enough attention in this kind of translation. Therefore, the study of figures of speech in English for science and technology is of great theoretical and practical significance. Many scholars have done a lot of research on the translation methods and strategies of English texts for science and technology from the sentence level. The author gives an example analysis from the level of figures of speech as a way to explore the translation strategies of figures of speech in English for science and technology.
