However, these translations have been of little value in assisting readers to interpret Emily Dickinson's English version of poems. Without the equivalent English versions of Emily Dickinson, these translators have been assuming a self-important role of being the best translation. Some of Pulong's translations have been analyzed to show that the best translation should be arranged in the following orders: first, the English version of the poem, and then the Chinese translation, followed by notes and interpretations.

Enormous differences in cultural background between the East and the West, however, result in varied under-standings of"ren". In this paper, a detailed comparison between Ku Hung-ming's translation of The Analects of Confucius andthat of James Legge's is made to analyze the the impact of different cultural background on the understanding and translation of"ren"in the relevant contexts. It is concluded that cultural difference exerts a great influence on the English versions of The Ana-lects of Confucius.展开更多
