Towards the Translation of Figurative Language
Abstract
Figurative language with its greatness of power, vividness and liveliness, as a form of language expression, is the perfect combination of informative function and aesthetic function. In conveying idea, figurative language focuses on lively figures of speech to create endless associations in readers through their senses. That is to covey meaning on the one hand and bring the aesthetic appreciation to the readers on the other. Therefore, how to deal with the figurative language in translation then to make the translation precisely and naturally reproduce the original idea from SL to TL without losing the aesthetic enjoyment as the TL readers expect from what the SL readers get, are both important in the work of translation. This thesis tries to provide several practical ways in the translation of figurative language.
Key words: Figurative language, Source language (SL), Target language (SL)
