Cross-cultural communication involves linguistic aspect, and the most closely related to language use in cross-cultural communication activities is translation. Ancient Chinese poetry includes four elements: rhyme (yun 韵), parallelism (dui 对), word count (yan 言), and tone (sheng 声). However, these elements have lower existence in English culture. In order to successfully achieve cross-cultural communication, translators need to consider these elements when translating ancient Chinese poetry. The paper focuses on the English translation of Du Fu's poetry by Xu Yuanchong, analyzing what translation strategies can be used by the translator in the dissemination of ancient Chinese poetry.
