A probe into image shift in translation

Abstract

An article is linked with a line of images. Thus images should be paid enough attention to in translation. English and Chinese are two different languages in many aspects, so it is very important to deal with the problems of image shift. In order to prove the quality of translation, this thesis focuses on the image shift in three aspects: total image substitution, image substitution with image of the target language and image deleting. The thesis has three parts. Part one makes a brief introduction to the whole article. Part two analyses the factors affecting the meaning of image in English and Chinese. Part three focuses on the three ways of image shift in translation and other relative things. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
