This paper explores the translation quality assessment of modal meaning in Chinese legislative texts based on Holiday's modality theory. Adopting the descriptive and contrastive analytical approach， the present study carries out the translation quality assessment of modal meaning in Chinese legislative texts at the lexical level by the employment of two parameters: modal type and modal value in modality theory. The analysis reveals that a series of factors affect the translation quality. In view of this， the author put forward some suggestions to improve the translations of legal texts.
