The close relationship between culture and language has become a widely recognized consensus. Language is the carrier of culture, while culture is deeply rooted in language. Without understanding the culture embedded in language, one cannot truly master it. Scholars studying the relationship between culture and language can approach it through single-language and culture studies or through comparative research between two or more languages and cultures to identify similarities and differences. This book features twenty-nine papers that explore the relationship between culture and translation from both macro and micro perspectives.
