Abstract
The matter of the reproduction of style in C-E translation of Chinese Classics has not drawn much attention for long.With an analysis of C-E translation of Yi'an Ci-poems from Li Qingzhao,the great master of the Gentle and Restrained School of Classical Chinese Ci-Poetry,this paper probes into the translating methods and tactics of how to reproduce the original style in English versions,which is based on the perspectives of wording,rhetorical devices and musicality.From the analysis,it is concluded that the style of Chinese Classics is translatable and can be reproduced successfully.This fact calls for translators to grasp the original style and to put it into the global cultural context.
