The quality of translation has been paid more attention in recent years, especially that of literary prose. The author aims to analyze the importance of textual and cultural features in high-quality translation of literary prose by using text typology theory and skopos theory. The author’s own revised translation of Eileen Chang’s literary prose is cited as an example in this essay.
