Extra-linguistic Context and Metaphor Translation

Li-li QIN

Abstract



Besides the linguistic context, translators often have to resort to the context in a broader sense, namely, the extra-linguistic context, including the situational context and the cultural context. When it comes to metaphor translation, this paper will mainly discuss the extra-linguistic context. After talking about the importance of the extra-linguistic context in metaphor translation, this paper elaborates on how situational context and cultural context decide the approach to metaphor translation.
Key words: extra-linguistic context, metaphor translation, approaches to translation
