Translation and Cultural Change
History tells us that translation plays a part in the development of all cultures. Historical cases also show us repeatedly that translated works which had real social and cultural impact often bear little resemblance to the idealized concept of a ‘good translation’. Since the perception and reception of translated works — as well as the translation norms which are established through contest and/or consensus — reflect the concerns, preferences a…

In Chinese society there is an established practice of borrowing kinship terms to address people outside the extended family. This practice is heavily reflected in modem Chinese fiction, and has caused much difficulty for the English translator. The problem is compounded by the use of age and status prefixes and suffixes which carry a distinct cultural flavour. Through an examination of various examples of different terms of addresses, the author…
