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 either investigate a single language-culture pair or conduct comparative studies across two or more language-culture pairs to identify similarities and differences. This book includes twenty-nine papers, exploring the relationship between culture and translation from both macro and micro perspectives.
