Summary
Translation is an important way and medium to spread culture. How to faithfully spread our country’s long history and culture to western readers is an important problem faced by every translator (Xu, 2019b). Literature (Jiang et al, 2019) analyzes the English version of “Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk” from the perspective of functional stylistics, and demonstrates and analyzes the guiding role of functional stylistics in translating. Literature (Dong, 2020) makes an analysis and research on “Zhang Peiji’s Prose Translation”, and concludes that the translation of modern Chinese prose should be based on the principle of “alienation”. This paper makes a descriptive analysis through the concrete application of Skopostheorie in translating prose into English, which is helpful to explain again the guiding role and applicability of Skopostheorie in literary translation. In the process of analyzing the specific application of Skopostheorie in the translation, this paper summarizes various translation methods and strategies adopted by translators, which has certain reference significance for the translation and introduction of other Chinese prose works abroad
