Abstract: How to reconstruct regional writing in the translation of Chinese literature， and how to manifest the “Chineseness” of Chinese literature in the great family of world literature， is one of the important issues of Chinese literature translation. The study of cognitive translation focuses on the cognitive reconstruction of crosscultural texts by translators， which provides a perspective for studying the translation of regional writing in Chinese literature. Taking the English translation of XUE Mos short story“Old Man Xinjiang”， we analyze the cognitive reconstruction of regional writing， and find that the translator achieves the cognitive reconstruction of regional physical objects through category intervention and cognitive gapfilling; cognitive reconstruction of characters sensory experience through granularity adjustment; and cognitive reconstruction of characters personalized language through concretization. The cognitive transformation mechanisms and textlevel cognitive reconstruction strategies summarized in the study have implications for both the practice and research of Chinese literature translation.
