Abstract:
Landscape translation, as an important part of cultural exchange, plays a crucial role in bridging language and cultural barriers. However, there are numerous issues in current landscape translation, such as misunderstandings and distortions arising from linguistic peculiarities and cultural diversity, as well as the incorrect or imprecise transmission of information in landscape texts, which can lead to a distortion of cultural imagery and a loss of traditional values. Therefore, addressing these problems is of great importance. This paper investigates the current state of landscape translation, analyzes the underlying causes, and proposes potential solutions, such as verifying the background of the landscape and adding annotations, with the aim of improving the quality and standard of landscape translation and promoting the cross-cultural dissemination and exchange of landscape culture.
