Abstract

This study focuses on the “artistic conception restoration” in English literary translation, using the Chinese translation of Hemingway’s short-sentence style as a concrete case. First, it elaborates on the significance of “artistic conception restoration” in English literary translation, then analyzes the characteristics of Hemingway’s short-sentence style and its unique artistic conceptions. Through specific translation examples, this paper explores the challenges and corresponding strategies for achieving “artistic conception restoration” in Chinese translations. The research shows that when translating Hemingway’s short-sentence style, it is necessary to comprehensively consider linguistic, cultural, and stylistic factors while employing appropriate translation methods. Only through such comprehensive consideration can the original artistic conception be maximally restored, presenting readers with authentic literary works.
