Abstract

Mo Yan's literary works have received wide attention in the world. "Red Sorghum" is his masterpiece. In order to let foreign readers understand the Chinese culture in the works, it is necessary to annotate and explain the corresponding words and sentences. In practical translation, literal translation with notes and free translation with notes can be adopted to help foreign readers better understand our culture. As for the conflicting contents, it is necessary to delete and replace them properly, so as to promote the acceptance of literary works by more readers abroad and promote the development of cultural works in China.
