Abstract:The emphasis on difference, diversity and intertextuality in postmodern criticism has given rise to an all-round epistemological revolution in the circle of translation studies. As a result, ever-increasing attention has been paid to two types of “others” by scholars from a deconstructionist, post-colonialist and feminist perspective: the dominated other in the traditional binary-opposition structure and the migrant other in the periphery of binary opposition. The former has arrested due attention in academia whereas the latter, has largely been neglected for a long time. The emergence of English/Chinese hybrid puns, a new type of hybrid text in contemporary Chinese linguistic and cultural context, however, has forced us to show concern to the migrant other. The irreducible otherness and creativity in such a type of text can help us to rethink the definition of translation, translatability, the ethics of translation and other relevant issues in the postmodern context.
