Abstract
With the development of cultural globalization, Chinese culture’s “going out” has emerged as an inevitable historical development, which is also a necessity for Chinese and Chinese culture to have confidence in standing among all nations. As a special group of translators, diasporic translators play a crucial role in the translation of Chinese culture. Therefore, the key problem to be solved in this study is how to dynamically construct the identity of discrete translators, and on this basis, clarify the translation strategies they adopt in cultural translation.
