Abstract

Snow Country, a masterpiece of the Japanese author Yasunari Kawabata, portrays the snow country as a beautiful, unreal world. This novel has been widely spread in East Asia and translated into several versions in China. Among them, the versions translated by Ye Weiqu and Gao Huiqin are famous in China. Professor Gao’s translation was released in 1985, while Professor Ye’s was in 2013. The time gap and their unique style of writing have led to differences in literary translation strategies and diction. This paper makes a study of Ye’s and Gao’s translations of Snow Country and takes the first chapter as an example to explore the similarities and differences in the translation strategies of the two Japanese-Chinese translations and the translation effects.
