Moreover, communication of human beings is limited by linguistic environment, which is rooted in cultural habit. From this we can see that different linguistic environment determines the withdrawing of the meaning in word translation and also the judgment and understanding of translators toward different cultures. This thesis will explore the effects of numerous factors on word translation in cultural environment and the corresponding translation methods. Moreover, the translators also should understand correctly the cultural meanings of the words included and adopt corresponding methods.展开更多

In China, the previous studies on it are mainly stay on its surface, such as relation between CFW and culture, rhetoric and grammar; scholars scarcely note the meaning construction of CFW. This paper aims to study the process of meaning construction of CFW through the Conceptual Blending Theory （CBT） of the cognitive linguistics.展开更多

This paper first briefly introduces classical Chinese poetry, major classical Chinese poetry translation schools and their representatives, and professor XU Yuan-zhong＇s famous principle of ＂Beauty in three aspects＂. In order to help disseminate this part of Chinese culture through discussing how the reader of the translation may be inspired, moved and aesthetically entertained in the same way as one reads the original, this paper will analyze the classical poetry Chinese-English translation from the perspective of ＂Beauty in three aspects＂, namely, in three parts--beauty in meaning, beauty in sound and beauty in form. Thus, it serves the purpose to offer a relatively comprehensive view of the classical poetry Chinese-English translation.展开更多

The complete Chinese version by Yang Bi published by People＇s Literature Press in 1957 was a great success. From many Chinese version of Vanity Fair, we may find that Yang Bi＇s translation is a perfect one. It is a best-ever version of all the possible versions that have been and might be produced in the future. Through analyzing Yang Bi＇s version, the choice of words, the use of four-character phrases, colloquial word in conversation, modal particles are the main reasons for the success ofYang Bi＇ s version and it＇ s long-standing popularity.展开更多
