翻译作为跨文化交流的一种重要手段,其本质是将译出语所承载的语言及文化信息准确地传达到译入语中。然而,在翻译过程中,由于受到种种因素的制约,译者往往很难准确地传达译出语的信息,从而造成译出语的某些文化意象的缺失。本文以《水浒传》沙博理译本为例,分析译者在熟语翻译中出现的文化意象缺失问题,并指出造成该问题的主要原因。

As an important means of intercultural communication, translation essentially translates the language and cultural information carried in the translated language into the translated language. However, during the process of translation, due to various constraints, it is often difficult for the translator to accurately convey the information of the translated language, resulting in the loss of some cultural images of the translated language. This paper takes Shapotai’s version of The Water Margin as an example to analyze the translator’s lack of cultural image in the translation of idioms and points out the main reasons for the problem.
