Affected by its culture becomes an important factor in literary translation. In today's society, translation is no longer merely is regarded as the change of language, and is seen as an act of intercultural communication. Translation as a kind of cultural patterns.Therefore, how to more accurately and appropriately deal with cultural differences in literary translation is the key to create perfect translation works. This article discussed from different angles to minimize cultural differences of four different methods of translation.一.literary genre and cultural differencesIs translation practice and translation work style closely linked. Different styles of the translated works have their unique language features. Only in the mastery of the source language and target language at the same time the characteristics of the two languages and able to skillfully use two languages, the translator can create real style of the source language translation work. Work language styles of different cultural factors contained in the means are different. For example, in terms of the article of the genre of science and technology, it carries cultural factors is less? In this kind of work in the process of translation, accurate information content from the source language into the target language far comparing two kinds of language and culture is much more important. Instead, in literary works, such as fiction, poetry, prose, culture has become one of the important factors that should be considered in the translation. If you ignore the cultural factors, translation became a no blood no meat, only by piling up the vocabulary and sentence form. Lost culture in the eyes of readers, the translation is not the soul of the works. Good translator in literary translation practice, therefore, should give full consideration to how to deal with cultural differences in the works of different genres.In all literary works, poetry is literary genres that are rich in cultural factors most,whether in the form or content are fully showed its own cultural features. For example: English sonnet seven patterns and Chinese reflect their strong cultural characteristics.In translation practice, in addition to accurately reproduce the connotation of poetry, style and the ideas of the author, should also be translated out of the cultural features of the poem. Many translation skills, such as supplement, annotation and translation, substitution, etc., can be used to solve the phenomenon of cultural differences in translation, so that the culture of the target language readers can fully understand the source language style. As we all know, the Chinese language attaches great importance to the Parataxis (Parataxis) and focus on Hypotaxis, Hypotaxis in English language. Typical feature is the language of Chinese parataxis has many subject and incomplete sentences, however, in normal English grammar, the sentence must have subject. In english-chinese translation, therefore, can by increasing or reducing the subject, object and correlative to achieve language and discourse coherence, and solve the contradiction of the cultural differences between two languages. For example, The tang dynasty poet li bai's poem "静夜思t" can be translatedto accord with the characteristics of English hypotaxis, according to the English translator "subject-predicate bin (SVO)" structure of the language model, increased the subject "I" and "if" in clausal structure and predicate verb "see"; The translator adopts the method of interpretation,Translated“床前明月光”into“Abed , I see a silver light”1Replacement is usually used to make up for the cultural differences between a translation skills. For instance:“众人拾柴火焰高”translated”Many handsmake light work”。
