ABSTRACT: According to the theory of translatorial hexis proposed by British scholar Charlston, some details of the translated text reflect the author’s attempt to “seek cultural glory.” It provides a new method for researchers to analyze translators' translation strategies. This paper applies this theory to explain some cultural translation strategies in Lin Yutang’s translation of Six Chapters of a Floating Life. Through the study of examples, it is found that Lin Yutang adopts faithful and reserved translation strategies for the Chinese traditional culture that he considers glorious, and cuts down or desalinates the culture that he considers dishonorable, which reflects the “pursuit of cultural glory” in the translatorial hexis theory. This theory is applicable to the interpretation of translators who have Chinese cultural identity and are engaged in the translation of Chinese culture.
