Abstract

Translation of ancient artifacts plays an important part in cultural communication. The accuracy of translation influences the effects of communication greatly. The translation of ancient works of art has its unique national attribute and cultural connotation. Therefore, the translation of this practical style is different from a general text translation. It is difficult to achieve the ideal result if only translate the Chinese art terms’ from the perspective of translation skills. Based on the cultural differences between Chinese and English, this paper illustrates the cultural elements in the translated terms of Chinese ancient art, analyzes and summarizes the existing mistranslations and misinterpretations, and finally comes up with suggestions on the standardization of the translation.
