A Study on Chinese Modern Prose Translation Strategy from the Perspective of High Context Culture and Low Context Culture

Ziyun Guan

Abstract


As the carrier of Chinese culture and thought, prose, especially modern prose, is becoming more and more popular abroad, which enjoys great reputations in other cultures. This thesis bases on Edward T. Hall’s theory of high and low context culture, with Zhang Peiji, Zhu Chunshen, Wang Jiaosheng and Liu shicong’s prose translations as examples, which attempts to analyze the application of different translation strategies in Chinese to English prose translation under the framework of high and low context cultural theory, hoping to provide referential value for further prose translation. This study on Chinese modern prose translation strategy will be analyzed from the perspective of high context culture and low context culture.

Keywords
