Abstract

Cultural differences between China and the west have always been a pervasive topic in translation. This thesis discusses the effect that cultural differences have on translation, focusing on the untranslatability that is caused by cultural differences, in which the untranslatability on cultural level is explored in more details. Furthermore, to reach the purpose of effective communication, several approaches to untranslatability are explored by the author. By adopting these approaches, translators and interpreters try their best to convey original information to the receptors.
