A Comparative Research on the English Translation of “The Book of Poetry - Caiwei” from the Perspective of Three-Dimensional Transformation in Eco-translatology – Taking the Translations of Xu Yuanchong and Wang Fanglu as an Example

As the earliest collection of poetry in China, Shijing is not only the cultural canon of the Chinese nation, but also a valuable heritage of world culture. The poem “Caiwei” in “Shijing-Xiaoya” can be regarded as the opening poem of the ancient war, which depicts the sufferings of the war, and also writes about the inexhaustible family and national sentiments. This paper selects the translations of Mr Xu Yuanchong and Mr Wang Fanglu, and based on the three-dimensional transformation theory of Eco-translatology, compares the adaptive transformation of both of them in Linguistic dimension, cultural dimensionl, and communicative dimension, and appreciates the translations’ embodiment of the original context and its embedded Chinese culture, and explores the translation strategies of ancient poems.
