Abstract

Mo Yan's appreciation of ugliness is embodied in many aspects. This essay takes the detailed description of terrifying things in Red Sorghum as an example to analyze the translation effects from the perspective of Chesterman's professional norms. Research indicates that Goldblatt abide by the three sub-norms and create almost the same terrifying effects with the original text. However, he ignores certain deep-buried terrifying effects created by certain Chinese expressions. Thus, it is essential for translators to analyze the original text thoroughly before translation and try their best to create the same aesthetic effects in their translation.
