ABSTRACT

English and Chinese, rooted in two different language families, remains many differences, among which the difference between static and dynamic is one of the most significant ones. Chinese is a kind of flexible and dynamic language, which is reflected in the use of verbs and verb phrases. However, being subject to its grammatical rules and morphological changes, as well as its pursuit of objectivity and rationality, English shows its static characteristics, which are mainly indicated in the expression of various words with action meaning through adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and prepositions. This article starts with the classic Chinese prose Moonlight over the Lotus Pond, making contrasts between the prose with Zhu Chunshen's translation, to have a systematical study on the rendering methods of verbs when translating from Chinese to English.And then by means of quantitative analysis and example analysis, this essay will analyze the method and strategy of "staticizing the the words with intense action meaning" from the perspective of characteristics.
