of original poem greatly. In the original poem the first stanza begins with an image and ends with another, both reveal the grief of parting. [26] Therefore in translation there should be the transference of the vivid image to let the reader feel the poet's emotion through the images to understand the artistic conception of the poem. As we know, In a Chinese poem, there are always many images; these vivid images bring the beauty to people. In order to achieve the similar effect, the translator should carry on the appropriate description to the images. For example, “小楼西角断虹明，栏杆私倚处，遥见月华生”（Immortal At the river by Ou Yangxiu）portray a beautiful scene：the broken rainbow appears after a heavy rain，two persons are leaning on rails watching the rising moon. Teresa Yee-wha Yu translates the lines in this way： Across the western corner of the Small house, a broken rainbow hangs brightly, as I rest on the balcony, awaiting moonrise. The image of the original poem is broken rainbow，why is the rainbow broken？Teresa Yee-wha Yu only uses‘broken rainbow’，which fails to manifest the esthetic sense of the moon raises slowly, therefore the beauty is inferior than the one of the original poem. The translation by Xu Yuanchong is: An imperfect rainbow is seen, Shut out of view by Western Tower. We lean on rails alone To watch the rising moon. Xu Yuanchong uses ‘shut out of view by western tower’，giving people a more vivid picture: Above the small building, a broken rainbow appears, --two people are closely leaning in the rail, watching the slowing rising moon, the phrase shut out describes the broken rainbow, the typical image matches the image verb, has exaggerated the original poem main key of the original poem, so, compared to Teresa Yee-wha’s Yu. Xu Yuanchong’s is better in transmitting artistic conception. The analysis above suggests that unearthing images is one of effective ways to convey artistic conception, of course, in the translation techniques of image, aparting from unearthing images, there are other ways to convey the artistic conception, such as footnoting and paraphrasing, which this article only discusses one of effective ways. 3.3 Stimulate imagination In the author’s view, the connotation of stimulating imagination is that if the poet leaves a great space of imagination to the readers, so should the translator. It is of great importance for the translations to stimulate the readers’ imagination. Just as Xu Yuanchong points out in his New Concept of Translation in New Century the low standard of literary translation is to resemble or reflect the truth of the original poems, while the high standard is to keep the beauty of poems in source language [27] The translator should try his best to bring the advantage of target languages into full play, which means making full use of the best form of expression of target language as well, and to make poems understood finally. The translations of literary works should be wonderful and splendid. Although we can read or listen to the literary works, we cannot visualize them like watching pictures or get auditory images like listening to the music. Therefore, if the literary language is dull, tedious and insipid, it cannot stimulate the imagination of readers, thus cannot convey artistic conception to readers, let alone let them grasp the artistic images in the original works. It is the translators’ responsibility to take advantage of target language to reach the translation to sti
