Abstract

Culture and language merge together. Understanding the cultural background of language can greatly promote language translation. With the process of reform and opening up, exchanges between China and other countries and regions have become more and more frequent. Scholars have also conducted in-depth discussions on the topic of the influence of culture on translation. People in the field of translation agree that cultural factors play an important role in translation. In the process of translation, cultural factors can not be ignored. Whether cultural differences meet cultural requirements is one of the important criteria of translation.
