On English Translation of Ci Poetry in Light of “Parameter Theory”: A “Beauty in Sense” Interpretation of Jiangchengzi

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8921.2014.04.011

Abstract

Abstract: The parameter can be categorized into “covert parameter” and “overt parameter”. The paper, in light of “parameter theory”, attempts to interpret Jiangchenzi and its English translation, exploring the evidences of the “beauty in sense” interpretation and construction of Ci poetry and the subjective-objective communication in the contextualized construction of the conceptual meanings of its microcosmic words, in order to explore the interpretative, manipulative, descriptive and provable theory for its interpretation and English translation. Therefore, the translator should pay close attention to the “covert parameters” as well as the “overt parameters” of the microcosmic words in the artistic reproduction of the emotional essence in the Ci poetry.
