The Trend of Cross-cultural Translation Strategy-Foreignization First,Domestication Second

[Abstract] Choosing foreignization or domestication is a heated topic in the field of translation, about which many translators are fond of arguing. They hold their own opinions about these two strategies, some of whom choose foreignization and some advocate domestication. The author of this paper holds that we first take foreignization, and then domestication, because foreignization is in line with cultural differences between Chinese and English, and the exchange of the different culture could enrich each other. Language is the carrier of culture. The essence of translation is to understand and study the foreign culture through the translation of foreign language. “Domestication Strategy” occupied the 20th century, but the history will come to "Foreignization Strategy ". The author gives the examples of the translation of literature, allusion, idiom, advertisement brand and term to support this idea. It suggests that we should choose one of the methods according to the concrete situation. We should apply foreignization as much as possible, but sometimes it will cause misunderstanding. At that time we need domestication. Applying foreignization doesn't mean abandoning domestication. These two methods are both useful and important. They come forward side by side and compensate each other.

跨文化翻译策略的趋向-异化为主, 归化为辅

【摘 要】 采用归化法还是异化法在翻译界仍然是一个争论不休的话题，有的译者主张归化法翻译，有的译者主张异化法，各抒已见。笔者认为，应该以异化法为主，归化法为辅。因为异化法不仅体现了中英文化存在的差异性，而且符合中英文化相互交流能丰富各自的语言这一事实。语言是文化的载体，翻译的本质就是通过翻译外国的语言来了解和学习国外的文化。20世纪的中国翻译界以归化翻译为主流，但历史将会走向异化翻译。笔者将以一些文学翻译、 典故习语翻译、广告商标翻译、术语翻译的例子来说明异化翻译的优势，并说明其逐渐成为一种趋向。选择异化法或是归化法要结合具体的情况，我们应该尽可能地采取异化翻译，但异化翻译有时会因文化差异导致误解。此时就需要归化翻译来补充。尽可能选择异化翻译并不意味着摒弃归化翻译。这两种都是有用的重要的方法，它们并行不悖，相得益彰。
