Abstract

Since the 18th century, Tao Te Ching has been translated into English over one hundred times. However, the research on these translations are far from enough in both quantity and quality, with few innovations in research method and perspective, which cannot match the significant status of the book all across the world. We try to construct a parallel corpus with the translation memory of Snowman and Live Docs of memoQ, which are regarded as popular computer-aided translation(CAT) software. In order to do that, we try choosing seven classical versions from the more than one hundred English versions based on the author, location and era. Some suggestions for possible future research are also given based on the functions of parallel corpora we have built.
