I).) ? It contains rich manifcstations of folklore culture which can be categorized into material, social, spiritual and linguistic folklore. Chinese-American scholar Wang Yitong5 s English version, A Record of Buddhist Monasteries in Luo-yang, has met with warm critical reception in the West since its publication in 1984. Drawing on both theories of folklore and of domcsticating and forcignizing translation strategies, this article aims to analyze the basic translation sttategies employed by Wang Yitong to treat the folklore items in the original text. Wang tends to foreignize such cultural references whi 1 e employing domesticating strategy where it is deemed necessary. This sort of rendition helps rotain and transmit the cultural cormoteitions pregnant in the Chinese original. This case study offers some implications for introducing Chinese folklore culture abroad.
