Abstract

Literal translation and free translation has always been a topic of debate in the history of Western Translation. For thousands of years, scientists from the translation of the definition, classification, social function and role of all levels of translation strategies are descriptive or prescriptive research, translation practice for people to provide useful guidance; modern languages ??schools and many linguists, especially pragmatic and cognitive linguists many different translation strategies for different interpretations proposed scheme, with some explanatory power of innovation and. Throughout these theoretical studies, there is no one widely accepted theory to explain the different cognitive level from the internal mechanism of translation strategies. This study aimed to explore the different translation strategies to follow when conducting translate the internal mechanism. Corpus from English-Chinese, Chinese-English translation dictionary tutorials and Proverb allusions in the corpus collected taken on the basis of the qualitative analysis and abductive reasoning approach. This paper presents a new translation strategy categories, namely: Based on the epitaxial heritage heritage translation and meaning-based translation. The theoretical basis for this study comes from the proposed extension of Xu Shenghuan heritage connotation that the hypothesis is a dynamic, open, evolving theoretical system, where the class inheritance hierarchy and extension of meaning throughout the text says, will serve as an organic whole application in the study. Many scholars from different angles a definition of translation, from which we extract a core idea - a form of translation is an alternative. Using the target language in the translation of the source language B instead of A, can be abstracted as A is B. In addition, we believe that occurs in the form of verbal expression levels between the two alternatives are mutually alternative forms of expression of the alleged concepts / categories based on the interaction between. According to tradition, said Xu Shenghuan epitaxial connotation of knowledge in the human brain is a class hierarchy in the form of organized, people on any one's understanding of things are assuming it exists in the class hierarchy in an appropriate location, and the upper and lower areas Epitaxial connotation between inheritance relationship. In view of this, will we be able to recognize two related concepts being equated, so that two forms of expression to replace each other, and this is likely the reason why translation. It is based on the translation of the epitaxial heritage intuitive use of the two related concepts of extension inheritance relations, to achieve a source language to a target language alternatives; while content-based heritage translation, you need to re-establish a similarity to two related concepts point of the upper areas of the two related concepts of its connotation lower the class hierarchy, then the two related areas classified as the same class and inherits the higher-level class connotation, completed the source language to the target language connotation heritage. While both inheritance process is different, but they all relate to each other on a temporary identification related fields to achieve the translation of the source language to the target language conversion. Text consists of six chapters. The first chapter is the introduction, this study focuses on the object, of the core issues and research significance, illustrates the corpus collection and research methods, and sketched out the full text of the frame. The second chapter is the literature review, first introduced abroad are often mentioned translation strategy, focusing on the literal translation / paraphrase and naturalization / alienation were reviewed, discussed the research status of translation strategies and pointed out its shortcomings. Based on this, this paper said epitaxial connotation tradition of translation strategies for analysis. The third chapter is the theoretical framework. Focuses on the class inheritance hierarchy connotation and denotation said its closely related to the mental model, the conventional relationship, adjacent similar relationship for the translation strategy study provides a theoretical basis. Chapter IV definitions and translations through the introduction of different translation strategies put forward our understanding of the definition of translation and translation strategies on the basis of a re-division of the translation is an alternative to come to a form, and thus to explore the internal mechanism of translation strategies. Chapter V epitaxial connotation from the perspective of different translation strategies heritage inherent in the formation process of analysis, reveal the inherent mechanism of translation of the source language and the target language extension connotation heritage. Through corpus analysis, the literal translation epitaxial heritage and alienation are based translation, free translation and naturalization is based on the connotation of inheritance translations. Chapter VI summarizes the full text of the research results, the study pointed out the inadequacies of its applicability.
