  • INVERSE TRANSLATION in CHINA: a NECESSARY CHOICE OR a NECESSARY EVIL By
    ARTICLES INVERSE TRANSLATION IN CHINA: A NECESSARY CHOICE OR A NECESSARY EVIL By JIASHENG SHI Associate Professor and Director of Translation Department, School of Translation and Interpreting, Jinan University, Zhuhai, China. ABSTRACT Inverse translation has long been seen in the negative light in modern translation studies, and has thus been relegated to a sort of second class endeavour. Based on a brief comparative study of English translations of Wenxin Diaolong1, a Chinese literary classic, this paper argues that inverse translation is as legitimate and feasible as direct translation in China, and that the assessment of quality of translation should be based more on the translator's translation competence and translation strategy than on his or her language affiliation. Keywords: Inverse Translation, Direct Translation, Wenxin Diaolong. INTRODUCTION for translation practice that is conducted from a foreign Inverse translation is “a term used to describe a translation, language into one's mother tongue—if they take into either written or spoken, which is done from the translator's account translation practice at all. This biased stance native language, or language of habitual use” concerning inverse translation is not conducive to the (Shuttleworth & Cowie 1997: 90). It is the opposite of direct development of translation studies, and runs contrary to translation, which refers to the translation done into the translation reality, where translation from one's mother translator's native language, or language of habitual use tongue into a foreign language is possible, permissible and (Shuttleworth & Cowie 1997: 41). Inverse translation is also some times even desirable. named “service translation” (Newmark 1988: 52).

  • Translation of English and Chinese Addressing Terms from the Cultural Aspect
    ISSN 1798-4769 Journal of Language Teaching and Research, Vol. 1, No. 5, pp. 738-742, September 2010 © 2010 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland. doi:10.4304/jltr.1.5.738-742 Translation of English and Chinese Addressing Terms from the Cultural Aspect Chunli Yang Foreign Languages School, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China Email: [email protected] Abstract—Terms of address are frequently used in social communication to show the identity, rank and relationship between the speaker and the hearer. It is important to have a profound understanding of addressing terms, especially in cross-cultural communication. However, due to the difference in history, religion and culture, terms of address vary in different countries and regions. In this paper, the author discusses the translation of English and Chinese addressing terms from the aspect of cultural background. First, the author defines terms of address and gives the reason why people use terms of address in social communication. Then, the differences between English and Chinese terms of address are analyzed from the point of kinship terms and social terms of address. Last, four translation methods are given according to different situations, namely, literal translation, translating flexibly, specification or generalization and domestication and foreignization. Index Terms—terms of address, kinship terms, social terms of address, translation methods I. INTRODUCTION With the development of globalization and the expansion of the intercultural communication, the contact between people from different countries, cultures and races are becoming more and more frequent. In the communication, it is inevitable to use terms of address which differ because of the diversity of culture.

  • The Becoming Self-Conscious of Zawen”: Literary Modernity and Politics of Language in Lu Xun’S Essay Production During His Transitional Period
    Front. Lit. Stud. China 2014, 8(3): 374−409 DOI 10.3868/s010-003-014-0021-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Xudong ZHANG “The Becoming Self-Conscious of Zawen”: Literary Modernity and Politics of Language in Lu Xun’s Essay Production during His Transitional Period Abstract While Lu Xun’s early works of fiction have long established his literary reputation, this article focuses on the form and content of his zawen essays written several years later, from 1925 to 1927. Examining the zawen from Huagai ji, Huagai ji xubian (sequel), and Eryi ji (Nothing more), the author views these as “transitional” essays which demonstrate an emergent self-consciousness in Lu Xun’s writing. Through close reading of a selection of these essays, the author considers the ways in which they point toward a state of crisis for Lu Xun, as well as a means of tackling his sense of passivity and “petty matters.” This crisis-state ultimately yields a new literary form unique to the era, a form which represents a crucial source of Chinese modernity. From sheer impossibility and a “negating spirit” emerges a new and life-affirming possibility of literary experience. Keywords Lu Xun, zawen, crisis, consciousness, revolution, education, writing Introduction We might say the basic contours of the figure of Lu Xun can ultimately be determined through his zawen writings. A great deal of preparatory work must be done in order to address these zawen in their entirety. Today I will speak of what I deem to be the “transitional phase” of two or three collected zawen works, in order to determine whether several characteristics of Lu Xun’s zawen writings can be summed up therein.

  • An Analysis of the Story of the Stone by David Hawkes from the Perspective of Prophecies
    International Journal of Arts and Commerce Vol. 9 No. 3 March 2020 An Analysis of The Story of the Stone by David Hawkes from the Perspective of Prophecies Ji Xiaoxia School of Foreign Studies, Northwestern Polytechnical University E-mail: [email protected] Published: 30 March 2020 Copyright © Xiaoxia. Abstract: With the current boom of Chinese literature, literary translation has been on the fast track of going global. Translation with higher quality reflects the demand of the growing strength and influence of our nation. This article attempts to analyze The Story of the Stone from the perspective of prophecy. By contrasting the different thinking differences between China and the West, the author summarize the translation strategies for literary works. Key words: Prophecies；Hong Lou Meng；Translation strategies A. Introduction of Prophecies Derived from people’s worship of the mysterious functions of language in the ancient times, prophecies reflect the ambiguity of the language. It is defined in Encyclopedia Britannia Ultimate Reference 2007 that a prophecy is a divinely inspired revelation or interpretation. With some superstition and fantasy flavor, prophecies are usually characterized with obscure predictions that may come true in the future in the form of the will of the immortals and other supernatural forces. With time going on, prophecies were not favored by rulers any more on account of their negative influence on the political power and people’s thoughts, thus abandoning their theological form. Afterwards, a group of creative writers began to employ this specific linguistic skill into their literary works in order Cite this article: Xiaoxia, J. (2020).

  • Studies on the Acceptance of Yang Xianyi's Translations of Pygmalion from the Perspective of History of Effect
    Frontiers in Educational Research ISSN 2522-6398 Vol. 3, Issue 3: 45-50, DOI: 10.25236/FER.2020.030311 Studies on the Acceptance of Yang Xianyi’s Translations of Pygmalion from the Perspective of History of Effect Ma Xiaoxing School of Foreign Studies, Henan Agricultural University, Henan 450046, China ABSTRACT. George Bernard Shaw and his works, exert profound influences on the world, including millions of Chinese readers. Pygmalion was translated by Yang Xianyi in 1956 and retranslated in 1982, 1987 and 2002 respectively. History of effect is important concept of hermeneutics. According to the principle of history of effect, any text is characterized by its positive practical significance. Gadamer’s idea of hermeneutics is helpful for our understanding of the necessity and significance of retranslation. The target text is the afterlife of the source text in time and space. In terms of the history of effect, this paper is devoted to a deep insight into Yang’s translating process of Pygmalion during four different periods of time and to further analyses of the theoretical foundation and specific characteristics of creation and polishing in retranslation, which is designed to offer references for retranslating literary works and the study of Yang Xianyi’s thoughts on translation. KEYWORDS: George bernard shaw, Yang xianyi; Pygmalion; Gadamer; The history of effect 1. Introduction In 1912, Shaw wrote Pygmalion, which has been staged all over the world. Shaw’s plays have also attracted much attention from Chinese scholars and translators. Lin Yutang published his translation of Pygmalion in 1929 and it was also put on stage.

Lu Xun and Translation November 30, 2009 in Uncategorized by jwasserstrom | 7 comments I recently wrote an essay called “China’s Orwell” for the Asian edition of Time Magazine. In the article, I deal with the conundrum of Lu Xun’s enormous influence within China yet continued relative obscurity outside of the Sinophone world. Among other things, I ponder the possibility that an attractive new collection of his complete fiction, which features spirited translations by Julia Lovell and was published as part of the Penguin Classics series (click here for a “Paper Republic” interview with the translator about the book), could help right this imbalance by introducing figures such as Ah-Q to Western readers who had never before come across his name. As a follow-up to that essay, which set me thinking about both the important work done by translators of fiction and about Lu Xun’s legacy as a writer, here is a top five list of places to go for more on one or both of these issues: 1) Two towering figures in the history of English language renditions of major Chinese works of fiction have died in recent months.

  • Comparative Analysis of English Versions of the True Story of Ah Q from the Perspective of Functional Equivalence Theory
    US-China Foreign Language, May 2021, Vol. 19, No. 5, 118-122 doi:10.17265/1539-8080/2021.05.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING Comparative Analysis of English Versions of The True Story of Ah Q From the Perspective of Functional Equivalence Theory YANG Tian, NI Jincheng University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, China As a relatively mature translation theory at present, the functional equivalence theory plays an important guiding role in the practice of literary translation. Therefore, this thesis compares and analyzes two translation versions of The True Story of Ah Q under the guidance of functional equivalence theory in terms of words, syntax, and discourse. This paper makes a detailed analysis of the two versions, one of which was translated by William Lyell and the other by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang. Then, the specific differences between English and Chinese languages are studied to provide guidance for translators to consider how to effectively and appropriately conduct similar translations in the future. Keywords: comparative analysis, English versions, The True Story of Ah Q, functional equivalence theory Introduction Nowadays, Lu Xun’s works have been translated into many languages all over the world, which can be said that Lu Xun’s works of Chinese literature have truly entered the world. Translators play an important role in the process of international cultural communication. Facing the bottleneck of Chinese literature going abroad, it is of great value and significance to make a comparative analysis on the English translations of Lu Xun’s novels. As the core theory of American translation theorist Eugene Nida, the functional equivalence theory has been highly valued by scholars all over the world since its birth 50 years ago.
