Oriented Approach

This article examines the strategies followed by Howard Goldblatt, the official translator of Mo Yan while translating his works from Chinese into English. Mo Yan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012 and critics argued that it was Goldblatt’s translation that was mainly responsible for Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize in Literature. Though Mo Yan’s works in translation are available in various languages, it is Goldblatt’s version that has become most popular. Therefore, from the perspective of Translation Studies, it would be interesting to identify the techniques used by Goldblatt that make his translations so special. The present paper compares titles, structure, and culture-specific expressions in the original and its English translation to identify the strategies followed by Howard Goldblatt in translating Chinese literary texts.

<p>In Per Wästberg’s presentation speech for the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, some information should deserve the attention of the Chinese academic circle. There is some truth in his compliments of Mo Yan, such as “he is a poet”, “he is a wonderful portrayer of nature”, “he knows everything and describes everything especially about a forgotten peasant world”, “in his work, world literature speaks with a voice that drowns out most contemporaries”. Wästberg also offers his interpretation and review of some of Mo Yan’s works. However, the speech inevitably shows Westerners’ misunderstanding of Mo Yan and his works and their ideological prejudice against China and the Chinese society.</p>
