ABSTRACT

This article talks about translation within the theory of Skopos and Feminist Translation. To combine Skopos Theory and Feminist Translation Theory, the translator can find a more harmonious way to translate the source text into the target text, which can help to ensure the gender neutrality, cultural adaptation, and the empowerment of marginalized voices.
