The author analyzes the thinking modes of Chinese and English in the Chinese original text and English version of Mr.About-the-same from three aspects: stativeness and dynamicity, overtness and covertness, rigidity and flexibility proposed in Contrastive Linguistics between Chinese and English. Through the analysis of this paper, the reasons of choosing a certain technique of translation will be more obvious, so it is easier for translators to choose an appropriate technique in actual work. It is concluded that the differences between Chinese and English thinking modes are important for choosing translating techniques.
