| With the development of globalization,countries in the world began to strengthen cultural exchanges with other nations.Although China has a profound historical and cultural background,the product of fashion creativestill falls short.The book Construction of Ethnic Elements and Cultural Identity: A Case Study of Fashion Creative explores the construction of ethnic elements and fashion creativefrom the perspective of generative correlation between fashion,creativeand ethnic elements.Translating this book will not only help Chinese readers to re-examine fashion creative,but also help foreigners to understand Chinese ethnic culture.This translation report is based on the translation of the second section in Chapter Three of this book.The source language is complex and verbose,which contains a lot of aesthetic and philosophical terms.Most of the long sentences are difficult to understand with subject omission,multiple modifiers and unclear logic.In addition,the logic among chapters is not obvious or even invisible.Therefore,to facilitate readers’ understanding and help translator transfer the source language culture,the translator should make full use of "flexible" skills.Under the guidance of the Translation Variation Theory,which is put forward by Prof.Huang Zhonglian,the translator applies six variation methods to translate the source text,aiming to summarize the feasibility and applicability of translation variation theory in translating fashion texts and to spread ethnic fashion culture more effectively.In this translation practice report,the translator thinks that while translating academic texts about ethnic culture,the translator should consider the translation purpose,display translator’s subjectivity,and make flexible use of variation methods to improve the quality of translation. |
