Abstract

This paper compares the translation styles of two Russian versions of Tao Te Ching and their narrative points of view from the perspective of macro-linguistic characteristics by using corpus method. It is found that the two Russian translations do not show obvious translation styles in terms of macro-linguistic features, but at the discourse level, they have different narrative perspectives in terms of the modality structure, pronouns, coherence and the use of borrowed terms, which reflects their respective translation styles.
