Abstract
In this paper, the Chinese to English Translation of conceptual metaphors in Song of a Pipa Player, a famous Chinese poem, is analyzed with references to the two English versions of Yang Xianyi & Gladys Yang and Xu Yuanchong. After a review of the translation of metaphors, this paper adopts a cognitive approach to metaphor translation analysis. The three types of conceptual metaphors confined by Lakoff and Johnson1 are applied in the article. Finally, it was observed that three major translation methods are mainly employed in the two versions: retaining the source domain, replacing the original metaphor and deleting the metaphor.
