Abstract: Creativity of the translators plays a vital role in translation. To illustrate creativity of the translators, cognitive linguistics theories provide a new perspective. Based on the framework of the theory of construal, from five aspects it is suggested that creativity of the translators lies in the translators effort to change the ways of expression in the original texts in order to conform to the ideas of the original texts. It is demonstrated with the examples in Chinese-English translation to explore the way and the approaches to creativity of the translators.
