Abstract

With the Chinese government advocating the going global of Chinese literature, the number of translation, introduction and dissemination of Chinese literature in the English world is increasing. This paper takes Toming Jun Liu’s English translation of The Empty Room as an example, analyzes the translation strategies adopted by the translator in the translation of The Empty Room, and explores a successful translation model to help the overseas dissemination of Chinese literature.
