ABSTRACT

Against the background of Chinese culture "Going Global", the English translation of ceramics has aroused wide attention and hot discussion, mainly involving ceramic classics, decoration, names of utensils, kiln names, ceramic inscription, folk words and so on. Ceramic inscription is an important part of ceramic decoration, which is influenced by the ceramic style, aesthetic standards and political culture in its production era. However, ceramic inscription contains profound Chinese cultural connotation, and it is difficult to be translated into English perfectly, which requires translators to have solid ceramic background knowledge and profound bilingual ability. To do a good job in the dissemination of ceramic culture and enhance the confidence of national culture, the primary task of a ceramic translator is to do a good job in translation to spread Chinese culture, to publicize China's excellent ceramic culture through high-quality translation and cross-cultural exchanges, and to promote the diversified development of the traditional Chinese ceramic culture in the global scope.
