In this context, moreand more attention has been paid to the translation of film works, and practitioners in this field also want to bring more smooth anddeep viewing experience to other audiences. Starting from the difference between Chinese translation and English translation, thispaper explores the specific elements of cultural differences and the reasons for this phenomenon, hoping to contribute to a compre-hensive and in-depth exchange of world culture.展开更多

It is an axial arrangement of the Circular Mound Altar to the south with the conic.ally roofed Imperial Vault of Heaven immediately to its north. This is linked by a raised sacred way to the circular, three tiered, conically roofed Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests further to the north.展开更多

文摘Annotation in translation is of great value in communicating"the local"to the global readership.Based on our content and function-centered statistics on the 483 notes of the four English versions of Shen Fu’s autobiographical work Fushengliuji,we find that 1)in terms of content,cultural,geographic,historical,and literary references are the most important categories of annotation in the English translation of this work;annotations in the four versions are employed to serve 6 major functions/purposes:to further inform,to facilitate understanding,to avoid misunderstanding,to interpret personally,to cite or allude,and to correct mistakes;2)no correlation can be established between the use of annotation and the reception of the work per se,but it can reflect the translator’s poise and strategy which ultimately affect the reception of the work;and 3)Lin’s version used relatively few notes and relied heavily on paraphrasing,a practice which leads to better accessibility of his translation and at the same time to the possible sacrifice of some culturally and socially significant elements of the original.Black’s translation used notes sparingly,and she was so creative as to rearrange and edit the original text,revealing her approach of radical"reader-centeredness".Pratt and Chiang’s version and Sanders’version used a large number of notes carrying a sinological mission,revealing their respect for the original and their decision to inform and inspire their readers.We argue that cultural translation,whether aided by annotation or not,is predominantly an art about"glocalism"and that both author-centeredness and reader-centeredness can be reconciled,since ultimately they serve the same"communicative"purpose.
