The Embodiment of the Translator’s Creative Treason in the Translation of Idioms in Xianxia Novel A Will Eternal
Abstract
This paper studies the English translation of Chinese online novels at the time of their overseas dissemination and popularity. This paper takes the idioms translation in Xianxia novel A Will Eternal as the research object, specifically analyzes the translator’s creative treason, and mainly analyzes how the translator’s personalized translation is reflected based on the translator’s creative treason in Medio-translatology. It comes to the conclusion that when translating idioms, the translator gives full play to his creative treason. Domestication and foreignization are used in the translation of such idioms. The former promotes the quick understanding of target language readers, while the latter retains the characteristics of the original text and promotes the dissemination of Chinese culture.
