    Abstract: In celebration of the centennial of China’s May Fourth Movement, this article explores the relationship between translation and this historic movement from the perspectives of language, literature, culture, and intellectual trends. It discusses the way translation was profoundly entangled with the May Fourth Movement, directly and indirectly contributing to its emergence and development. By helping to endow the Movement with an ethos of openness and creativity, translation became a spiritual pursuit throughout this epoch-making event in China’s modern history.
Keywords: translation; May Fourth Movement; spirit; influence; significance  
  Abstract: The centennial of China’s New Culture Movement (NCM) reminds us once again of the crucial role translation played in this historic event. Without the crucial contributions from translation, the NCM would not have taken place, nor would Marxism have been introduced into China in the immediate wake of this Movement. And since the founding of the Communist Party of China could as a result have been postponed for years, the history of modern China would certainly have been rewritten. The translation referred to here, however, should not be understood in the conventional sense of cross-linguistic transfer of meaning. Rather, it refers to a special mode of cultural interpretation and a catalyst for cultural transformation. In this latter sense, we have every reason to believe that however the mode of translation would change in the age of IT and AI, it would continue to play just as crucial a role throughout China’s New Era of development, contributing vitally in particular to the country’s current efforts to promote its literature and culture abroad.
Keywords: New Culture Movement; translation; interpretation; transformation; Marxism; Sinicization
   
Abstract: As a new trend and paradigm in TS, cognitive translatology brings to bear on the study of translation the principles and methods of cognitive linguistics, of which category and categorization are two crucial components. While it is well-known that applying categorization theory to translation studies would help counter the tendency in traditional theories of translation toward binary oppositions, what other potentials or problems could result as a consequence of seeing translation anew from the perspective of categorization theory remains under-studied. For a remedy of such a situation, the present work proposes a category-based transformational model of translation. By elaborating on the conditions of possibility as well as the process for category transformation to take place in translation, we explore translation’s cognitive bases and mechanisms, in a bid to shed more light on the cognitive nature of translation activities.
Keywords: categorization; cognitive translatology; category transformation; cognitive basis; cognitive mechanism
 
Abstract: This paper explores the way to define and thematize “Translational rhetoric,” a sub-area of translation studies, within the framework of the New Rhetoric paradigm and in response to the changing socio-cultural conditions of our time. By considering its “name” and “nature,” as well its potentials and challenges, from macroscopic, meso and microscopic perspectives, the paper highlights the unique approach, disciplinary implications, theoretical contributions and positive guidance the proposed paradigm may bring to the studies of the rhetorical dimension of translation. A theoretically informed and practicable approach to studying translational rhetoric, “translational rhetoric” holds the promise of improving China’s TS, enabling it to better serve China’s international communication.
Keywords: translational rhetoric; definition; name and nature; promise; challenge; communication
 
 
Abstract: The seven years in the 1920s that Liang Tsong Tai spent travelling and studying in Europe went a long way toward shaping up his career as a celebrated scholar-writer-translator, for the large amount and very significant translations and writings Liang did during this period laid a solid foundation for the professional developments all through his life. This paper offers a detailed examination of the works he accomplished while sojourning in Europe, and explores the social, cultural and historical factors that account for what he did. Standing out among these factors is his well-known friendship with European literary giants such as Paul Valéry and Romain Rolland, which exerted crucial influences on his work in translating both classical Chinese poems and poems in Chinese which he himself had composed. His success in these endeavors sheds useful lights even on today’s cross-cultural communication.

Abstract: Pondering on why Guo Moruo’s 1922 translation of Die Leiden des jungen Werthers/The Sorrows of Young Werther should have such a strong cross-cultural impact on the development of modern consciousness in China, one could not but notice a sharp contrast between the free spirit and the self-assertive personality embodied by the character of Weite, the protagonist of the Chinese version, and the sentimental and melancholy image projected by Goethe’s original Werthers. The marked difference in characterization is explainable in reference to the equally striking difference between the two cultural-historical contexts in which Goethe and Guo lived and worked respectively. An even more relevant factor, however, is the fact that Guo Moruo meant this translation as both a response to the call of the May Fourth New Culture Movement and an effort to push the Movement further on. With this translation and his equally influential collection of original poems entitled The Goddess, Guo managed to engage himself fully in, and made a significant difference to, the formation of modern Chinese culture. From his case, lessons could be drawn about how translated literature could be made to produce desired cross-cultural effects on and thus contribute to the socio-cultural developments in China.
Keywords: Guo Moruo; Goethe; The Sorrows of Young Werther; translation; cultural effect; China
 
Abstract: Because of her untimely death in 1942, Xiao Hong was unable to finish writing her last novel Ma Bo’le. The ending-less story however caught the attention of Howard Goldblatt, who in early 1980s turned the unfinished manuscript into English, then came up with a “complete” English version of the story in 2018 by adding to his 1980’s rendition an ending of his own invention, and finally had his wife-collaborator Lin Li-chun turn the added ending into Chinese, thus made available a “complete” version of Xiao Hong’s story in Chinese 76 years after the original writer’s death. The strange twists and turns in Ma Bo’le’s afterlife show that translation is far from a simple and linear process from the source text to the target text. Rather, it is a process of collaboration among agents of translation, often a process of negotiations between the translator and the author, the editor, the reader, and other agents involved. The role each agent plays is incapable of being defined clearly. As the case of Ma Bo’le indicates, the translator could also serve in other capacities, frequently doubling as a researcher, a promoter, or even a co-author. A keen awareness of the possibility as well as the potentials of what may be called “multiple authorship” will help in Chinese literature’s present endeavor to “go global.”
Keywords: Ma Bo’le; English Translation; afterlife; multiple authorship

 
Abstract: The Sing-Song Girls of Shanghai , an English translation of a late-Qing Chinese novel, came out of the joint efforts by Eileen Chang, who provided “a very rough draft” of the English rendition, and Eva Hung, who offered two successive revisions of Chang’s version and turned it into a fully publishable literary text in English. This paper looks into their productive “relay” by first setting up an interpretive frame within which the traces of Hung’s revisions were marked systematically and categorized statistically. A comparison between Hung’s two revisions follows, leading to the identification of their differences and similarities and the discovery of the thrust of Hung’s revisionary efforts as well. While both revisions show respect for the overall structure of the original story and uphold the first translator’s principle of semantic translation, they focus on improving the draft translation’s readability and fluency by adding to its cohesion and coherence. An emphasis is also made throughout the process of revision on systematically constructing a general framework in which China’s literature and culture are rendered accessible within the target language and culture.

Abstract: Even though the translation of children’s literature in general has aroused more and more attention from the scholars concerned, the area of picturebook translation had not yet been explored in any comprehensive manner until the 2018 publication of Translating Picturebooks: Revoicing the Verbal, the Visual, and the Aural for a Child Audience by Riitta Oittinen, et al. A follow-up on Riitta Oittinen’s Translating for Children (2000), this collaborative work not just offers a survey of the latest accomplishments in translation studies of children’s literature, but focuses our attention on the translation of picturebooks in particular. With the dual perspectives of semiotics and multimodality it introduces on the subject, this new publication chart new interdisciplinary directions for future studies on translating children’s literature, both in China and abroad.
Keywords: children’s literature; picturebook translation; semiotics; multimodality; critical analysis 
 
   
Abstract: Errors in the translation of scientific classics is hard to avoid, as is the translation-caused miscommunication of scientific ideas. This paper identifies problematic renditions in the Chinese translation of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, classifies these errors into different types, and, on the basis of the way the erroneous renditions have been unwittingly cited, undertakes to estimate the mistranslation-caused consequences to scientific communication. The study shows that even what seems to be an innocuous mistake in such a translation, when uncritically cited and interpreted, could become seriously misleading and thus snowball into a major problem in scientific communication. And among the types of errors identified, the conceptual one tends to be the most insidious, as mistakes of this type are usually deep-lying and implicit. For translators of scientific texts, therefore, the theoretical point ought to be taken as the minimal unit of translation.
