Abstract

Either in the field of theoretical research of translation, or in the translation practice, there is a long dispute over the problem of translatability and untranslatability with a great number of scholars on both sides. An analysis will be made in this paper to focus on the problem of untranslatability between English and Chinese from intercultural perspective. The translation strategies to compensate the problem of untranslatability between English and Chinese will also be discussed.
