It has become a necessary tool in international communication and cooperation. Language, however, derives from culture, so different countries under different culture backgrounds vary deeply in mastering and applying English since they are affected by their own culture and language more or less, and some even violate the rules of English. Currently, Chinglish usually occurs in interpretation, exerting influence on mutual understanding at various levels. This essay, based on former researches, will analyze Chinglish and its patterns of manifestation in consecutive interpretation and present appropriate modifications, thus to reduce the occurrences of Chinglish in interpretation. Certainly, to address the problem of Chinglish at root, interpreters are supposed to improve their bilingual competence, understand western cultures more profoundly and keep themselves focused on new development of English. Key words: Chinglish, interpretation, cross-culture communication
