Domestication And Foreignization In The Translation Of Network Martial Arts Fictions:

Since 2015,Chinese network martial arts fictions have been increasingly popular throughout the world.Thus,studies on the translation of Chinese network martial arts fictions are becoming more of concern in the academic circles.Based on the strategies of domestication and foreignization,this study,focused on Chinese network fantasy fiction Coiling Dragon and its English version as an example,aims at conducting a study on the translation of contemporary Internet Chinese literature.Outcomes of this study include the following:firstly,through domestication translators can not only facilitate the translation of the words with the eastern cultural characteristics,but also adjust sentence patterns to meet the idiomatic expression of English,which will make the translation fluent and more acceptable to the readers;secondly,through foreignization translators can retain the cultural characteristics of Chinese network fantasy fictions,and at the same time,remain faithful to the original so that readers can better understand the fictions,and promote the exchange and enrich the development between the two languages;thirdly,in the early stage of "Overseas Promotion of Chinese Literature",the translators should adopt domestication as the main strategy and foreignization as a supplementary strategy to deal with the cultural differences in the English translation of Chinese network martial arts fictions,because using domestication can deliver detailed and complete text information to readers and further advance the dissemination of Chinese Internet literature and Chinese culture.Hopefully this study can be of value to promoting translated works of contemporary internet Chinese fictions.
