Skopos Theory in the English Translation of Ceramics Texts

Ru kiln, burned in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the rise of the Northern Song Dynasty, in compliance with the imperial decree of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty to create the color of porcelain like "Colors of the sky clearing after a heavy rain", became one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Ru porcelain produced at the Ru kilns was one of the most prized varieties of ancient Chinese porcelain. Therefore, the writing of the Ru porcelain Records shows the glorious history of Ru porcelain and records the painstaking efforts to restore and develop the contemporary Ru porcelain. Recently, under the guidance of the Skopos Theory, the translator has completed the Chinese translation of the third chapter of this book, which is about "the development and prosperity of Ru Kiln" to introduce the history of porcelain to the target language readers. Due to the fundamental differences between the English and Chinese languages, the study seeks for appropriate translation strategies and methods according to the purpose of translation. As far as possible, while faithfully expressing the meaning of the original text, the translation is in line with the language habits of the target language readers, so as to spread the Chinese porcelain culture.
