Abstract

In recent years, with the acceleration of globalization and the exchange and integration between different cultures, translation has played an increasingly crucial role as an important cross-cultural communication tool. As an important field, Chinese Western translation involves the mutual transformation and cultural exchange between Chinese and Western languages, and has significant theoretical and practical value. This paper aims to conduct a comparative study of Chinese and Western translation studies, explore the differences and similarities in theoretical viewpoints and methods between the two, in order to deepen the theoretical understanding and practical application of Chinese and Western translation studies. In the historical development of Chinese and Western translation studies, Chinese translation studies has accumulated rich experience and achievements in translation theory and practice with its long history and unique traditions. Western translation studies, with its systematic and theoretical characteristics, have formed various important translation theory schools and methodologies. The exchange and influence of Chinese and Western translation studies have promoted the integration and mutual reference of theories, providing important ideological support for the development of Chinese and Western translation practice.
