Then, how to master the key point of hypotaxis and parataxis for translation? Using the research approaches of literature survey and comparative analysis, this paper conducts a comparative study of hypotaxis and parataxis to further explore appropriate translation strategies in terms to language, culture difference and translation.展开更多

It is hoped that translators can exert their subjectivity and creativity to achieve the linguistic dimensional transformations of parataxis and hypotaxis to maximize the degree of holistic adaptation and selection for achieving successful translations.展开更多

Cultural dimension, as one of the three key dimensions of eco-translatology, plays a very important role in translating.
