标题：Analysis of Constructive Effect That Amplification and Omission Have on the Power Differentials—Taking Eileen Chang’s Chinese-English Self-translated Novels as Examples
摘要：By taking Eileen Chang’s two Chinese-English self-translated novels as examples, this paper analyzes the construction effect that employment of amplification and omission has on the asymmetrical power relationships from four aspects of critical discourse analysis: classification system, transitivity system, modality system and transformation system. The conclusion is that the author-translator’s adoption of amplification and omission serves for the construction of asymmetrical power relationships, which has negative influence on cultural communication based upon equality between the west and the east.
