Abstract “Translation strategy” has been a hot topic in the study of translation in the recent years. Generally it can be pided into two categories: domestication and foreignization. In the process of translation, a translator can choose his translation strategy according to specific textual needs, readers and translation purposes. Besides, the choice of translation strategies will have direct effects on the style and intelligibility of the translation. The Border Town is a novella of a well-known Chinese writer Shen Congwen. It is set in a small town called Chatong located in the border of Sichuan Province and Hunan Province in the 1930s. It describes the typical local customs and culture of the western area of Hunan Province and tells the love story of a girl named Cui Cui who ferries people for a living. Yang Xianyi and Dai Naidie are not only a model couple but also world-famous translators whose perfect cooperation is considered as a legend in the field of translation. The Border Town is one of the works they translated together. 43531
