ABSTRACT

Based on translation practice, Qian Zhongshu proposes the translation theory “Huajing”. The theory derives from Chinese traditional translation and revitalized with new ideas in Qian Zhongshu’s translation practice. It brings together the essence of various translation theories and takes an important place in Chinese translation circles. The paper mainly focuses on “Huajing”’s theoretical basis and five core elements, and illustrates “Huajing”’s effectiveness with actual translation practice. The practice has proved that “Huajing” can help readers gain both understanding and sense of beauty of the source text, and also provide flexibility for translators in translation. Although standard of “Huajing” is not clear, it is still regarded as one of the greatest translation theories in China’s translation circles.
