Translation Strategies for Chinese Poetry from the Perspective of Eco-Translatology – A Case Study on Xu Yuanchong’s Version of Du Fu’s Deng Gao

Abstract

Eco-Translatology is a translation research approach from ecological perspective. The core of this approach is to ensure that the translated works can achieve the artistic conception and the effect of the original works from three dimensions: language, culture and communication. This paper aims to study the Chinese poem “Deng Gao” translated by Xu Yuanchong as an example and analyze the translation of Xu Yuanchong within the range of these three dimensions so as to explore the applicability of “three dimensional transformation” strategy in Chinese poetry with the purpose of improving the quality of translation as well as exchanging the mutual learning of different cultures.
