ABSTRACT

The rapid development of China has given birth to the craze of Sinology, and Sinology has received more and more attention. However, due to the differences in language and culture, even senior sinologists may have difficulties or mistakes in understanding. Therefore, this paper will focus on sinologists in translation and demonstrate the important role of Chinese assistants in translation and the importance to the long-term development of Sinology by analyzing the advantages of Chinese-foreign co-translation models. Based on the conclusions, this paper analyzes the limitations of independent translation of sinologists, and on this basis, it proposes to establish an institution to train sinological assistants and coordinate translation work.
