大王有令,有破刺客长空者,赏千金,封千户侯。 By order of His Majesty, he who kills Sky will receive gold and land. 这句台词中,千金,千户侯都含有文化信息,若全部保留文化信 息,其译文应该是: By order of His Majesty, he who kills Sky will be awarded one thousand tales of gold and be dubbed marquis (爵候， 世袭贵族）with a possession of one thousand households

comment on the Skopos theory
Part 2 翻译目的论的产生背景 • In 1970s, with the pragmatic turn both in linguistics (leading to a pragmatics-based text theory) and literary theory (leading to reception aesthetics text theory) as well as communication theory in mind, Vermeer and other Skopos scholars started to view translation as a purposeful intercultural communicative acting between individuals instead of something that is done to a text by a translator.
Skopos theory
translation is a kind of action that has a purpose. • The focal points of this theory lie in three aspects: substance of translation, participants of the process of translation and principles of functional concept of translation. • It introduced the idea that a translation should always be conducted to fulfil the purpose of theTT（target text） in the TT’s situation. • The prime principle determining any translation process is the purpose (Skopos) of the overall translational action.
