Abstract
Literary works, as carriers of human culture, possess profound cultural heritage and unique aesthetic value, helping readers to better understand the values and lifestyles of different cultural backgrounds. In the context of Chinese culture going global, the English translation of Chinese literary works has become increasingly important. Based on the theory of variation translation variation theory, this paper takes the English translations of Mo Yan’s “Red Sorghum,” “Frog,” and “Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out” by Howard Goldblatt as research materials, deeply analyzes the reasons why these literary classics have successfully entered the hall of world literature, and uses them as a mirror to explore effective English translation strategies for Chinese literary works to truly go global and win international recognition.
Key words： Translation Variation Theory; Translator’s subjectivity; English translation of Chinese literary works; Dissemination path
