Abstract
Red Sorghum, is one of Mo Yan’s novels. When it is translated into the United States, it comes into the commercial channels. Domestic and foreign scholars are strongly interested in it and they are attracted to study it due to its excellent representation. Under the framework of domestication and foreignization and the Skopos theory, this paper will find out how to deal with specific local cultural elements in English version by comparing the source and English version of Red Sorghum. After a review of the two translation strategies: domestication and foreignization, it is indicated in the thesis that numerous disputes can be found over these two strategies both in China and in the west. To tackle these problems and complement their deficiencies, the author employs the Skopos theory to provide a new perspective on domestication and foreignization at issue. The thesis concludes that the Skopos theory is effective in explaining domestication and foreignization adopted in English rendition of local culture in Red Sorghum. The choice of domestication and foreignization in the translation of local culture is determined by the purpose the translator wants to achieve and influenced by many factors.。 Keywords: Red Sorghum; local culture; domestication; foreignization; Skopos theory
