Abstract：The cultural communication nowadays on which translation is based did not exactly equal among the relevant sides. Thus, the “hybridity” in the target language after the text was translated is inevitable, in which the strategies of domestication and foreignization on which translation theories are holding their views are disputing relatively, because “hybridity” can embody the characteristics of both the source language and target language, or the product of the two. This paper, under the “hybrid globally” in translation, made a series of analyses on the theoretical appearance in its inevitability and significance in the process of translation as well as the communication between the Chinese and foreign cultures.
The study focused on Chinese and English, the two different languages in the aspects of pronunciation, spelling and structure and second on the ways of thinking where Chinese people attach great importance to ethics, integrity, and lay a particular stress on synthetic and intuition and where contrarily British and American people pay attention to cognition and individuality, and lay a particular stress on analytic thinking and evidence. The gaps between the two languages thus make “hybridity” translation inevitable. Besides, the specific qualities of “hybridity” in literary translation works were shown in lexicality, syntax and culture.
All above result concerning “hybridity” plays an important role in cultural exchanges and globally cultural ecology. What’s more, the right attitude the translators should take, and the process of translation were simply introduced and the paper signified that people should overcome narrow national consciousness and deal with the different cultures tolerantly and appropriately.
