Corpus-based Study of C-E Translation of Animal Metaphors in Political Discourse
This paper,based on a Chinese-English bilingual political text corpus,studies the C-E translation strategies of animal metaphors and the cognitive interpretation,focusing on the top 15 high-frequency animals.The research reveals two primary approaches:literal translation more commonly applied to metaphors involving tigers,flies,foxes,wolves,camels,sheep,elephants,black swans,and rhinos;and free translation preferred for metaphors relating to dragons,fish,horses,oxen,and geese.
