explore the underlying aesthetic values and the impact of cultural
factors on the translation of English literature between China and the
United States.
1. Cultural Factors in Translation
Translation of literature involves the interplay of multiple cultural
factors that shape the aesthetic values embedded in a work. Culture
determines one，s perception， understanding， and appreciation of
literature. When translating English literature into Chinese， it is
important to consider the cultural aspects that may differ between the
two languages. For example， Chinese culture places more emphasis on
harmony， collectivism， and traditions， while American culture tends to
prioritize individualism， independence， and innovation. These cultural
differences have a direct influence on the translation of works，
especially concerning the choice of words， sentence structures， and
even entire narratives. Translators need to navigate these cultural
aspects carefully to preserve the original aesthetic values while making
the work relatable to the target audience.
