Abstract

The translation of political culture-loaded items about the Cultural Revolution of the novel To Live is discussed from a relevance-pragmatic approach. The translator of the novel flexibly employed different translation methods to make the translation accurate and fluent while attempting to retain the cultural “otherness”. The findings of this study may hopefully provide some insights into translation of culture-loaded words. In general, when rendering these items, the translator must follow the “politically correct” narrative strategy.
