Ci, a treasure in ancient Chinese literature, makes frequent use of metaphor. Its unique form of expression and abundant artistic effects often create difficulties in translation. This study selects some representative metaphor examples from Song Ci to explore the patterns and strategies in the translation process. The study reveals that in face of the metaphors in Song Ci, translators need to comprehensively apply strategies such as retaining the metaphor, replacing the metaphor, and translating the literal meaning to ensure the quality of translation while restoring the aesthetic charm of the original metaphor.展开更多

And a modified special word segmentation method,a new semantic relativity computing method based on HowNet along with the corresponding word sense disambiguation method are proposed to extract words and semantic features from Song Ci. Experiments are carried out and the results show that these methods are effective.展开更多
