ABSTRACT

Under the background of promoting Chinese red culture and enhancing the professional value, in this research, the Corpus of Contemporary American English is applied as the technical support, the cultural schema theory is employed as the theoretical foundation, and The Museum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Zhongshan city is regarded as the source of revolutionary texts. 30 English major students are respondents to participate in the C-E translation practice for revolutionary texts in the museum. It is discovered that those respondents are not only able to summarize detailed C-E translation strategies for Chinese red culture, but also to truly understand those impressive red stories that have been mentioned in revolutionary texts. After accomplishing the C-E translation practice with the aid of the American corpus and cultural schema theory, 30 respondents are definitely determined to strengthen their own identity for Chinese red culture and meanwhile they are absolutely willing to promote the fearless patriotism of old revolutionists by making use of their profession. This research conducted to realize the promotion of Chinese red culture and the enhancement of students’ professional value is going to usher in some theoretical and practical implications for researchers who intend to conduct relative studies in the near future.
