Elimination of lacunas in Russian and English translations of Cat Country by Lao She

This article presents the results of a comparative study of a Chinese novel Cat Country by Lao She and its translations into Russian by Vladimir Semanov and English by William Lyell. It aims at identifying associative and textual lacunas and considering the ways of their elimination in Russian and English texts. Various strategies are used, such as translators' notes and a loan translation technique to convey the specific historical and cultural context of Lao She's work. The features of individual translation solutions have also been analyzed. The authors declare no conflicts of interests.
