Abstract
From the perspective of thinking, translation is not only a linguistic activity, but also involves the process of thinking activity.

This paper firstly proposes three differences existing in Chinese and western mode of thinking by some comparison and analysis, synthetic thinking and analytic thinking, concrete thinking and abstract thinking, forward thinking and reverse thinking. Thus present three great influences caused by the different modes of thinking like different choice of words, difference in expression structures and words order. At last propose some basic methods to improve translation quality. Therefore, in order to avoid misunderstanding, we should pay attention to the impact on translation between Chinese and western mode of thinking.

In the long progress of human society, translation helps human being to communicate with each other and have been closely bound up with human existence and development. Translation studies have long been confined to the periphery of research in the humanities. In the long translation history, there are many factors to affect the quality of translation such as the difference of culture and translation habits and so on. Different nations have different languages and cultures. Because of the different ideologies and cultural backgrounds, people may have totally different ideas towards the same thing, the impact on English-Chinese translation also including thinking. Thinking of all nations contains a lot of differences. Chinese and English are also no exception. Language is the carrier and container of cultural information. Culture is the soil of language. However, thinking is the carrier of language. |
