We focused on when and how to reorder the Chinese NPs A+(de)+B+(de)+C wherein A,B and C are three separate and smallest chunks for reordering. Based on the types of chunks A, B and C, we analyzed four types for the Chinese NPs A+(de)+B+(de)+C and their grammar structures in theory and summed five reordering patterns by comparing the orders Chinese NPs A+(de)+B+(de)+C with their English orders. We used a rule-based method and built formalized 53 rules to identify the boundaries of chunks A, B and C using the Boundary-Words and developed a strategy on how to reorder the chunks efficiently. At last, we used a rule-based MT system on the SCT model to test our work, and the experimental results showed that our rule-based method and strategy were very efficient.
