Translation of British Relations with China from an Explicitation Perspective (I)

Chenfan Qie

Abstract

British Relations with China is a political commentary taken from the Edinburgh Review(1802-1929). It delves into the political
and commercial interactions between Britain and China in the mid-19th century and is marked by overt political bias and personal nuances.
The study analyzes the English-to-Chinese translation of British Relations with China from the perspective of the Explicitation of Ideational
Metafunction. Interpretation, addition, extension, conversion and substitution are employed to make metaphors, euphemistic expressions or
omitted information explicit.

Keywords

Explicitation of Ideational Metafunction; British Relations with China; Translation Strategies
