The role of national interests in media production and translation
This research studies how Chinese news and its translation have approached the China-DPRK relationship before and after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s first visit to China in March 2018. The paper presents a case study of China’s biggest, state-run Chinese-language newspaper The People’s Daily and its equally state-run English-language China Daily. It examines what has been published in the former before and after Kim’s first meeting with Pres…
Censorship in Translation
This research focuses upon how the translation of certain types of literature in China evolved historically: from 'non-translations' (i.e., 'translations' unmade as well as made and yet strictly forbidden under given censorship conditions) to 'partial' or 'full/near-full' translations set against the backdrop of changing practices required by the country's censorship policies. My analysis begins with an overview of the multi-faceted interface bet…

(Self-)censorship and the translator-author relationship
This paper studies the translator-author relationship against the backdrop of governmental and non-governmental (publishing, editorial and the translator’s own) censorship in present-day China. I distinguish three types of translator-author relationship affected by censorship and/or self-censorship, resulting in three categories of translations, i.e. full translations, partial translations and non-translations. The several relationships described…
The translator’s identity as perceived through metaphors
The (de/re)construction through translation of the linguistic-cultural identity of the One in relation to that of the Other can only be made possible by the translator functioning as its core participant. The present paper offers a study of this type of translator function. Specifically speaking, it studies translatorial identity as manifested through translational metaphors. Stemming from a project on Chinese and Western metaphors for translatio…
Towards a Whole-Person Translator Education Approach in Translation Teaching on University Degree Programmes 1
This article posits that translation teaching in degree programmes in translation at the tertiary level is not mere translator training. Rather, it is both training and education, and very often more education than training. On this proposition, it emphasizes the need for such programmes to take into full consideration the holistic development of the students in their education as translator/translation specialist. Most essential to the model tha…
Metaphors of Translation
The study described in the present article investigates Chinese and Western metaphors of translation that have appeared since antiquity and which illustrate the central role of metaphors in descriptions of translation. The article discusses more than 270 Chinese and English language metaphors from descriptive as well as diachronic and synchronic points of view. It analyses the issues metaphors give rise to, and offers in-depth analyses and discus…
The Chinese and Western Translation Traditions in Comparison
The purpose of this paper is to provide a discussion of some of the basic differences and similarities between the Chinese and Western traditions of translation. After analysing some of the major findings about what is shared and what is unshared between the two traditions, as well as what lies beneath these differences and similarities, four basic conclusions are made; namely, (a) comparative translation studies is important and should be fully …
