English as a worldwide language, the translation of English and Chinese is important. However, as we all known, different nations have different cultures. They not only have relations, but also have unique cultural elements. It is these differences that bring difficulties to translation and cause the untranslatability. From this aspect, it is difficult for people to understand and express the inherent meaning. Therefore, I choose this topic and discuss the untranslatability from the respect of cultural gaps so that can promote English and Chinese''s cultural communication .

3. 国内外研究现状

'Cultural gaps and untranslatability' is an important topic. However, the study on translatability and untranslatability, especially those in the context of culture studies did not receive desirable attention until the latter part of the 20th century. J.C.Crawford, a well-known linguist and translator raised the issue of untranslatability in 1965. He argued that linguistic untranslatability was due to the difference in the source language(SL) and the target language (TL), whereas cultural untranslatability is due to the absence in the TL of relevant situational features. Vemeer views translation as primarily a cross-cultural communication transfer and cross-culture event. In China today, culture studies have become a fashion. Wangbin''s article named on Translatability . Another scholar in China, Wang Yahou who favors the idea that the introduction of Chinese poetry to foreign countries through translation is an indispensable part of inter-cultural exchanges insists that poems are untranslatable theoretically. Wang Zuoliang points out 'translation involves language as well as culture. A translator should know foreign culture as well as the culture of his own people.'However, their dicussion just focus on one specific area. We need grasp the relationship between culture and translation as a whole.Therefore, this thesis is attempting to explore Cultural gaps and untranslatability.
