Abstract

Domstication and dissimilation, a basic principle for translation, have been one of the hot issues in the field of translation. Different people keep different views on them, but domesticattion and dissimilation are two choices translators must face and choose in the crosscultural translation. It is particularly vital as to which one of the two should be persisted in. This paper states that the dominant force is dissimilation in the crosscultural translation with domestication as the minor force.
