The course addresses the dynamic relationship between culture and translation in both conceptual and practical terms and thus seeks to deepen students’ understanding of translation as a cross-cultural dialogue. The course serves two purposes. First, it introduces theories and notions on the role played by culture in production and reception of translation and aims to cultivate among the students the cultural sensitivity that is needed for a professional translator. Second, it focuses on the cultural dimension of various types of translation and aims to enhance students’ ability in dealing with culture-bound texts of different genres in both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation practices.
