Cultural Mediation
This paper focuses on Eileen Chang's self-translation The Rouge of the North basing on her own Chinese novel Jinsuo Ji in American context. The comparative study of the original work and its translation betrays the inner struggles in the heart of the novelist and translator in an alien soil, which are reflected in the adaptation of the plot, the choices of words, reshaping the characters, etc. By detailed analysis of the changes in her translatio…
Peels for Salt
A Note from Russell Leong: As a writer myself, I am often intrigued with other people's lives because they show other ways of living beyond my own. Luo Xuanmin has an interesting life, beyond his activities as a scholar and work as a teacher and translator. He is simply a naturalborn storyteller. Whether it is in a Japanese restaurant in Beijing (where King-Kok Cheung and I first heard this story) or in a Persian cafe in Los Angeles (where he tol…
Translation as Violence
Lu Xun (Zhou Zuoren), who lived from 1881 to 1936, is generally considered the most important Chinese writer of the twentieth century. Born into a semi-colonial, semifeudal China, he gave up a medical career, which had at first seemed to him the natural way to cure the Chinese people, after concluding that China's true malaise lay in the heart and soul of its society, that is, in the corrupt late-Qing government and the mentality of the people
Ideology and Literary Translation
This article focuses on the prominent Chinese reformer Liang Qichao's (1873-1929) thinking concerning and practice of translation work. The focus on the translation work of only one – but someone who was politically very prominent - translator clearly shows that in the major cultural and societal context, translation is marginalised and considered a simple tool for supplementing literature rather than a ‘sharp sword’ for transforming society and …
A textual‐cognitive model for translation
This article discusses Robert de Beaugrande and Wolfgang Dressler's seven textual standards from a cognitive and communicative perspective. It proposes a textual‐cognitive model of the dynamic process of interaction between the seven standards (namely inten‐tionality, acceptability, cohesion, coherence, informativity, situationality, and intertextuality). The model provides an overview of text construction in translation and also describes the na…
Elegance’ in translation
The article discusses post‐colonialism in traditional Chinese literary translation principles in multicultural contexts. It uses Fu Yan's translation principle ‘elegance ‘ and his translation of Thomas Henry Huxley's Evolution and Ethics as a case study. The article illustrates how a translator uses a translation principle which bears a colonial stamp but achieves a post‐colonialist function in reality, and thus how a theory can be deconstructed …
