Abstract

Translation is a cultural activity, which is influenced by many social and cultural factors. Here we want to study the translator's dual cultural identity, the specific status and status of national literature, and the choice of translation strategies. Language is the carrier of culture, culture is the soil of language, and translation is the bridge of intercultural communication. Translation is fundamentally a cross - cultural communication problem. From the meaning of culture, the influence of cultural factors on the translator and the process of translation is discussed. With the deepening of understanding of the context, people have become more and more aware of the important role of context in translation. Literary translation is more complex than not literary translation, mainly involving a variety of cultural factors. In order to translate properly, the translator must understand all kinds of cultural factors in the source language and the target language, that is, the cultural context, otherwise it will cause the improper translation.
