Cultural image in translation provide a very good angle for translators to ponder on. It is of great significance for translation to go further instead of lingering on the surface of words and sentences. The translation of Ci provides a better forum for cultural exchanges and communication. Translating Song Ci from the perspective of cultural translation is thus very useful and practical. Combining this two parts, great differences can be made and in this way make contribution to the development of translation as well as Ci culture.
Studying from the perspective of cultural translation, this paper tries to find the great importance of taking cultural image into consideration while translating Song Ci. Three pieces of Su Ci are taken as examples for illustration to show that various cultures should be rendered with proper methods so as to sketch the original figure in that original culture.
