Abstract

From the perspective of Julian House’s newly revised translation quality assessment model, the translation of A Public Example by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang is assessed and analyzed from register (field, mode, tenor), genre, and function, and then the C-E translation quality will be evaluated. The newly revised TQA model adopts corpus study, so Antconc, Wordsmith Tools, and UAM corpus software are used in this paper, and a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis is adopted to make the analysis process more objective. After analysis, it can be found that the source text and the target text have a high degree of matches in terms of register (field, mode, tenor), genre, and function, and the target text belongs to the overt translation. As a result, the translation quality of A Public Example by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang is high.
