Translation is regarded as a second-hand copy the source text. Since Susan Bassnett puts forward cultural transfer as an approach in translation study, it begins to shift from linguistic study to comparative literary study. The process of translation involved in making another culture comprehensible entails varying degrees of violence, especially when culture being translated is constituted as that of the"other". The Journey to the West, a traditional Chinese classic contains numerous cultural-specific terms. Translators with different cultural identity mainly adopt domestication to provide easy access to the target readers, revealing the subjectivity and ideology of the translators and their cultures.展开更多

The study takes the opportunity to observe some conventions in Rebecca West＇s concerns and recommends that they should be read as a thematic cycle, starting with her first unfinished novel The Sentinel （2002） and ending with her last published novel The Birds Fall Down （1966）. It draws a comparative analysis between the two narratives and confirms some thematic traditions, their influences and development in this writer＇s practice. The novels are used to exemplify West＇s complex politics, her independent philosophy and her blunt and arresting voice, which seem to have complicated her position as a woman writer of her time. The analysis suggests that West＇s extensive usage of conflicts, ambiguous female images, suffragist and anti-Soviet ideas as the main themes expressed through her impressive mode of characterization across a variety of different genres, impeded a complete understanding and public perception of her work, while simultaneously demonstrating complexity of her narratives. The study shows that she used these matters to debate contemporary issues and to find new solutions to unravel antagonisms. It proposes, in general, that West＇s work is essential to examine modern traditions of literary practices and women＇s writing in particular, to explore human nature and to inquire into family and gender relations.展开更多
