Abstract:In recent years, with the "culture turn" of the translation study, the study of translation's subjectivity has gained more and more attention and has gone deeper. In the relation of "original text—translator—target text", the translator is not only the acceptor of the original text, but also the creator of the target one. Therefore, the translator plays a vital role in the translation process. In the meantime, language has a close connection with the thinking pattern. Different cultures, geographies, historical backgrounds trigger different thinking patterns, whose differences are expressed in languages. In other words, languages are the tools as well as the media of thinking patterns, recording historical fruits of different cultures. As the medium during the communication of eastern and western cultures, the translator becomes even more important in this case. Under this circumstance, it is necessary and urgent for us to further our understanding of the translator's subjectivity.
