Through the examination of lexical features, culture-loaded words, and philosophical terms, it reveals the differences between the two translators in terms of word choice, cultural interpretation, and philosophical expression. At the syntactic level, by analyzing indicators such as sentence length and hypotaxis, it is found that Legge’s version places more emphasis on formal equivalence, while Wang’s version focuses more on coherence of meaning. At the textual level, through comparing the use of conjunctions and readability, it further uncovers the differences between the two versions in terms of cohesive devices and reading difficulty. By combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, this study examines the translation styles of the two translators from multiple angles and levels.展开更多

Under the guidance of Translator Behavior Criticism and in combination with the “Truth-seeking-utility-attaining” Evaluative Model of Continuum towards Translator Behavior, the author first adopts a quantitative analysis of the vocabulary and syntactic aspects of the three translations based on the corpus, comparing their macroscopic features. Then, based on selected specific examples, the author qualitatively analyzes the translation characteristics of different versions, exploring the “degree of truthfulness/pragmatism” in relation to the original text, with the aim of providing a more objective and comprehensive evaluation of the translation behaviors of the three translators. Through the comparison, it is found that all three translations possess characteristics of Chinese novels. Tang’s and Hou’s translations tend to be more literal, emphasizing “truthfulness” to a greater extent. On the other hand, Yang’s translation leans more towards domestication, exhibiting higher degrees of pragmatism and its language is concise and accurate, which is more in line with Hemingway’s writing style.展开更多

The study finds that there are significant stylistic differences between the two translations. Li Jihong’s translation adopts a more domesticating translation strategy, while Cheng Xuexin & Lian Yu’s translation adopts a more foreignizing strategy. The differences between the two translations are closely related to the translators’ translation concepts, translation purposes, and the social and cultural backgrounds they are in.展开更多
