Abstract

Translation ethics mainly focuses on the ethics and norms in translation studies. Based on ethical-approach translation studies and employing quantitative explanations interspersed with supplementary qualitatively-based case analysis, this thesis explores the cultural imagery in Six Chapters of a Floating Life translated by Lin Yutang and analyzes how Lin deals with the transmissions of these Chinese culturally-associated imagery, aiming to prove the potential possibility and profound significance of the application of Lin’ translation ethical principles to image transmission in translation study, realize the overseas promotion of Chinese literature, and better spread the values of traditional Chinese culture.
