This study

based on the perspective of stream of consciousness

delves into the manifestation of self-awareness in the English-Chinese translation of

The Power of Now

. Through a comparative analysis of the source text and its translation

the research reveals how linguistic choices and syntactic structures reflect the author's flowing thoughts and self-consciousness during the translation process. The findings indicate that translation is not merely a linguistic conversion but also a reconstruction of cultural and psychological states

where the translator's grasp and representation of self-awareness play a crucial role. The results demonstrate that the stream of consciousness theory offers a fresh perspective for translation studies

enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the emotional and psychological dimensions in texts and facilitating the exploration of self-awareness in translation practice.
