Abstract

Culture-loaded words reflect precious spiritual wealth that a nation has accumulated in a long history. Therefore, the translation of culture-loaded words, to a large extent, can affect the success of literary translation. Yumi, created by Bi Feiyu, consists of abundant culture-loaded words with Chinese characteristics. Its English version Three Sisters is translated by the Goldblatts. From the perspective of Skopos Theory, this paper analyzes the translation of culture-loaded words in Three Sisters translated by the Goldblatts. The study has shown that in order to achieve the aims of introducing Chinese culture to Western readers and ensuring best readability of the translation, the Goldblatts flexibly adopt translation methods such as literal translation, literal translation with explanation, free translation, omission, etc. Meanwhile, the study hopes to provide some suggestions for Chinese literary translators.
