On the Loss of Linguistic Effects of Chinese Folk Jokes in Translating

Chinese folk jokes are directly originated from the local people and characterized by the Chinese culture. Therefore, it is essential for a translator to understand the linguistic features of the original Chinese folk joke according to the theories of speech acts and implicature as well as the principles of language cognition. While translating, the translator also has to take into account whether the translated text can be accepted by the reader or not. In this way, the loss of effect may be avoided and the translated text of a Chinese folk joke may have the effect on the reader similar to that of the original text.
