摘要

Abstract

Translating dialectal expressions presents a challenging area in prose translation teaching. This paper begins by distinguishing between "translation teaching" and "teaching translation

" clarifying that the teaching of prose translation falls under the category of "translation teaching." Grounded in Liu Miqing's translation aesthetics as the theoretical framework and taking the English translation of dialectal expressions in Talking of Hometown Wherever I Go as a case study

this paper explores pedagogical strategies for the aesthetic reproduction of dialectal expressions. Drawing on the three principles of "imitation

" "reconstruction/compensation

" and "harmonization

" and through a pedagogical analysis of representative examples such as ke hu-er

ruá

and yi mai (mai

pulse/vein) xiang cheng

the study identifies instructional approaches including transliteration with annotation

in-text explanation

grammatical restructuring

and textual coordination. It also examines the auxiliary role and limitations of AI technology in teaching dialectal translation. The findings suggest that teaching dialectal translation must focus on cultivating students' formal aesthetic awareness

cultural interpretation competence

and holistic textual thinking.
