Research on the Preservation of Source Language Cultural Color and the Adaptability to Target Language Culture in English Translation

Abstract

With the deepening of the globalization process and the increasingly frequent cross-cultural exchanges, the issue of the preservation of the cultural color of the source language and its adaptability to the target language culture in English translation, which serves as a bridge connecting different cultures, has drawn more and more attention. This paper focuses on discussing these two aspects. By analyzing the manifestations of cultural color at the levels of vocabulary, idioms, and cultural images, it elaborates on the importance of maintaining the cultural color of the source language and its role in promoting cultural exchanges. Meanwhile, it specifically studies how to make the translation migrate towards the target language culture without affecting the cultural characteristics of the source language, so as to achieve effective cross-cultural communication. It also puts forward translation strategies and methods, aiming to provide useful references and guidance for English translation practice, improve the quality of translation, and promote the convergence and penetration of multiculturalism.
