| Abstract: | This paper is aimed to comment on the translation of a chapter from Behind the Beautify Forevers based on the visibility theory. It argues that a visible translation is preferred for the sake of an impressive effect due to the genre and the objective of the source text. With the explanation of selected examples from the translation, the thesis concludes that visibility in the target text is achievable by various strategies such as defamiliarization, resistancy and foreignization. |
