Under the background of global climate change, natural disasters occur frequently, and the accurate transmission of cross-language emergency information is of great significance to international rescue cooperation. At present, there are some problems in the translation of natural disaster emergency terms, such as semantic deviation, inconsistent expression and insufficient cultural adaptation, which affect the efficiency of emergency information communication. In order to improve the accuracy and standardization of Chinese-English natural disaster emergency terminology translation, this paper takes Chinese-English natural disaster emergency terminology as the research object, adopts the corpus-driven method, integrates literature research, corpus analysis, case comparison and expert consultation, collects and collates multi-source corpus such as government announcements, rescue reports and academic literature, carries out terminology recognition, semantic discrimination and translation comparative analysis, and discusses the difficulties and optimization paths of emergency terminology translation. The study sorts out the semantic differences and usage rules of Chinese and English emergency terms, puts forward the translation optimization ideas suitable for emergency scenarios, and clarifies the translation orientation of communicative priority, accurate concept and appropriate pragmatics, which is helpful to reduce the ambiguity and misuse of term translation. The research results can provide reference for emergency language service practice, help to improve the efficiency of cross-language emergency information transmission, and serve international disaster rescue exchanges and cooperation.
