1 Introduction
Reduplication is a combination of sound and meaning. The more harmonious the two factors fit with each other, the more effective the meaning is expressed. In reduplicated words, the same word or part of the word are repeated in order to increase the vitality of the language. As a kind of formation of words and figures of speech, the reduplicated words exist in both Chinese and English languages. However, there is difference between Chinese and English reduplicated words.
This paper intends to make a research on the translation of reduplicated words in Moonlight over the Lotus Pond (translated by Zhu Chunsheng in “Selected Modern Chinese Prose Writings” and “Essays 108”). The body of this paper is made up of two parts. The first part is the brief introduction to the reduplicated words and the difference between Chinese and English reduplicated words. The second part is about the ways to translate the Chinese reduplicated words and the different functions after translating.
