Abstract

The paper analyses the preference of translation work's choices according to Yang. K. S.'s Chinese social orientation theory. A questionnaire on the basis of family orientation, relationship orientation, authority orientation and others orientation were designed and 100 sophomores at a university were invited to answer it. The investigation shows when choosing the suitable work to translate, Chinese translators consider many elements relating to Chinese social orientation, except their own ideas. Although there are exceptions, most of the key points in Chinese social orientation theory can be discovered in the answers of the respondents. The influence of Chinese social orientation to translators is valuable in translation study.
