Abstract

Starting from the procedure of applying for Chinese Academic Translation Project sponsored by Chinese Fund for the Humanities and Social Sciences, this paper probes into the four phases of translation for drama culture in Silk Road: The Study of Drama Culture, i.e. initial translation, re-translation, adaptive translation and editing translation, shedding light on Chinese culture’s “going global” from a brand new angle. In initial translation, translators focus on the message interpretation of the source text and accurate expression of the target language; in re-translation, the emphasis is paid on the examination and verification of drama and its culture; in adaptive translation, translators cautiously select either domestication or foreignization in order to cater for the interest of target readers; and in editing translation, undergoing six rounds, translators have engaged in the following issues, consistency of terminology, language forms, academic paradigm and publication demands, and so on.
