The translation of classical Chinese novels is the process of transforming classical Chinese novels into modern vernacular Chinese. For example, there was a story in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio: The governor of Hunan sent someone to escort 600,000 taels of silver into the capital. On the way, he encountered rain and lost the silver after resting in an ancient temple. After the escorts reported back, the governor wanted to punish them, but because there was no doubt in the confession, the governor sent people to the scene to investigate. There was a blind man at the scene who seemed to be a fortune-teller. After learning about the loss of the silver, he ordered the sedan chair to be prepared and brought the escorts into a big city deep in the mountains. The blind man directed the escorts to a gate facing west. There was a person wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty inside the gate. He arranged for the escorts to stay and wait for the person in charge. There was another story. On the way back from Hangzhou, a certain Li from Jiangxi met a young man who asked for a ride on a boat. Li took pity on him and let him board. When they arrived at Changshan, the young man wanted to treat them to a meal. Everyone deliberately made it difficult for them to say that they wanted to eat steamed buns from somewhere. The young man went back to his bedroom and covered himself with a quilt. Soon, the quilt was hot and he took out a lot of steamed buns. It turned out that the young man was the so-called "iron abacus" in the Jianghu. He could take people's money with his skills, but because I was kind, I didn't take his property and hired a boat for him. Through translation, these classical Chinese stories could allow modern readers to better understand the plot, characters, and principles contained in them. Read more exciting novels for free

The translation of classical Chinese can be analyzed according to the context. Original text: Now there are villains who say that they must praise Yao and Shun. I don't want to talk with them, so as to leave the shame of future generations. Translator: There are actually villains who call Yao and Shun when they speak. I don't care to talk to them so as not to leave regrets for future generations. This sentence came from the 16th chapter of the Analects of Confucius. The word "villain" in the original text referred to those who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and spoke irresponsibly."Words must be praised by Yao and Shun" referred to these people who liked to exaggerate and think highly of themselves. Translating should be done according to the specific context and tone to avoid translation being too simple or too artistic.
