The finding is as follows: Some mistranslations couldn't obscure Howard Goldblatt's excellent version. He takes semantics, pragmatics and readers' aesthetics experience into consideration and adopts various strategies, including culture image illustration, explication and replacement, which show the meaning, ways and style of the expression of source texts.
