Abstract

Against the backdrop of the popularity of Chinese literary works in the inter-national market, how to accurately convey the cultural connotation without dimming the writing style of the source language has always been a difficulty in cultural translation and communication. As Yu Hua’s longest novel, the English translation of Brothers triggered a huge response upon its release. However, there are still relatively few studies on its English translation. In this regard, the concept of Culture-specific Item and its translation strategy pro-posed by Aixelá can be used for guidance and reference. This paper studies the translation method of CSIs in the English version of Brothers, and further analyzes the applicability of eleven translation strategies and four variables proposed by Aixelá to the English version.
