Welcome to the 2007Spring Translation Study Project

In this project, you will
 * Demonstrate understanding of the two translation strategies "domestication" and "foreignization" used to negotiate cultural differences between source language/cultural and target language/culture;
 * Critique translation works using these two strageties;
 * Relate these two strategies to translation theories about cultural differences;
 * Produce two final products: 1) Compare and contrast of two translation versions of //A Dream of Red Mansions// (one by an English translator and another one by two Chinese translators); 2) A manuscript intended to be submitted for publication to a journal on translation studies.
 * Develop the ability of coducting academic research and writing academic papers.
