A Case Study on Yang Hsien-yi’s Translation of A Dream of Red Mansion From the Perspective of Vinay and Darbelnet’s Model
Abstract
As China launched the “going out” strategy of culture, a batch of Chinese classics have been retranslating. Being one of the representatives of Chinese classics, A Dream of Red Mansion has reached cult status in literary studies. This study presents a case analysis on Yang Hsien-yi’s translation of A Dream of Red Mansion from the perspective of Vinay and Darbelnet’s model, finding out the application of this theory in Chinese classics translation and offering new inspiration for future translation practice and studies.References
