- Abstract
The world is undergoing profound changes unprecedented in a century. Against the backdrop of the new historical journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The cultural exchanges between China and the West are becoming more and more frequent. More and more scholars begin to explore the English translation of China’s classical classics like Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, at present, researches mainly focus on the translation skills of language and text, and less pay attention to food culture. Besides, there are few articles based on corpus comparative analysis. Therefore, this paper selects the English versions of Taylor and Moss Roberts as the corpus, classifies the different cultural connotations of wine, selects the wine culture in the Jingchu Xiangyang area in Romance of the Three Kingdoms as the research object, and carries out quantitative statistics by taking CUC_ParaconcV0.3 and Cncorpus as tools, compare and analyze the translation arts in the two versions, and compare the translation strategies and skills of different versions from micro and macro, to summarize their translation strategies and methods and promote Chinese “wine culture” to the world.
