A Study on the English Translation of Museum Ceramic Exhibition Titles from the Perspective of Cultural Translation Theory: A Case Study of Jiangxi Provincial Museum and Jingdezhen Chinese Ceramic Museum

Abstract

Translation is not merely the conversion of linguistic symbols; it is also an act of cultural exchange. The concept of cultural translation requires that the target language accurately reflects the meaning, manner, and style intended by the source language from a cultural perspective. This study conducts a comparative analysis of the translations of ceramic exhibition titles in two museums, exploring the selection of cultural translation strategies to effectively preserve and convey the essence of the source culture.
