Abstract
Chinese Ci Poems are important in the spread of Chinese traditional culture. Metaphor is the spirit of poems so that it is significant to translate it into English. This thesis firstly combed the previous studies, including the definition, classifications, characteristics of the metaphor and its basic translation principles. Then, translation methods were discussed by analyzing the metaphors in Li Qingzhao’s works. The research shows that the metaphors in Li Qingzhao’s works can be roughly divided into four types: visualization, personification, objectification and allusion. It is discovered that the following four translation methods are effective. They are literal translation, free translation, transformation and annotation.
Key words: Li Qingzhao; Ci Poems; metaphor translation
