Study on the Translation of Culture-loaded Words from the Perspective of Domestication and Foreignization Theory: A Case Study of Kong Yiji

Culture-loaded words are also called culture-specific words. The translation of them is the difficult point of novel translation. Lu Xun's novel Kong Yiji contains a large number of culture-loaded words. Therefore, translators must adopt different translation strategies from the perspectives of content and context. Based on Lawrence Venuti's theory of "Domestication and Foreignization", this paper analyzes the culture-loaded words in Kong Yiji in order to resolve the obstacles in cross-cultural communication.

Abstract

Culture-loaded words are also called culture-specific words. The translation of them is the difficult point of novel translation. Lu Xun's novel Kong Yiji contains a large number of culture-loaded words. Therefore, translators must adopt different translation strategies from the perspectives of content and context. Based on Lawrence Venuti's theory of "Domestication and Foreignization", this paper analyzes the culture-loaded words in Kong Yiji in order to resolve the obstacles in cross-cultural communication.
