ABSTRACT: Red Sorghum Family is one of Mo Yan’s representative works and the first
English translation of Mo Yan’s works by Howard Goldblatt. The ecological
environment of translation restricts and influences the translator’s choice of
translation strategies, methods and techniques in the process of translation.
According to the eco-translatology, translation is a transformation from
language dimension, culture dimension and communication dimension. This paper analyzes the three-dimensional transformation between the
source language and the target language in the English version of Red Sorghum
Family, and holds that a good translation must be the translator’s effective
adaptation to the ecological environment including the source language, the
source culture and the target language.
