Abstract:

Wang Rongpei's English translation of Chinese classics has been studied extensively by scholars from various perspectives. However, there has been limited research conducted from the perspective of Transknowletology, which views translation as a cultural behavior and social practice in knowledge processing, reconstruction, and re-publicization through cross-linguistic interaction between local knowledge and global knowledge. This paper aims to explain Wang Rongpei's translating selection, as well as his translating thoughts, which aim to convey the full meaning and flavor of the original text, within the framework of Transknowletology. This approach will broaden the scope of translators' studies.

Key words: Wang Rongpei, English translations of Chinese Classics, Transknowletology
