Abstract


Faithful to the book \Chinese and English, however, are a far cry from the structure of language and cultural origins, so English-Chinese translation between English and Chinese cultural translation fully peer does not exist, therefore mistranslation became inevitable phenomenon. Mistranslation, especially due to cultural factors and cultural mistranslation, vividly reflect the differences between the different cultures and collision, and plays an important role in the communication and understanding between different cultures, and thus have a special value . Since the 1970s translated the \is a cross-cultural communicative acts, translation can not be used in a vacuum, but are subject to certain social and cultural factors. Therefore, mistranslation, we should be on the specific social and cultural environment to examine specific analysis of its causes, rather than blindly deny. Understand the error, the expression is not appropriate, the lack of social and cultural background are three common mistranslation sources.
