Translation ethics focuses on the moral norms and value judgments in translation activities, covering the responsibilities and obligations of multiple subjects such as the original author, target readers, and commissioning parties, providing a theoretical framework for resolving the contradiction between objectivity and bias in news translation. In the current practice of news translation, there are problems such as excessive intervention by translators leading to a bias that overrides objectivity, or mechanical literal translation ignoring communication effects leading to a lack of bias. Therefore, guided by translation ethics, exploring the balance strategy between objectivity and bias in news translation not only helps to improve the quality of news translation, but also has important practical significance for building a healthy cross-cultural communication order. This article combines the core theory of translation ethics to systematically analyze the balance path between objectivity and bias in news translation.
