Abstract: The paper analyzes the various versions of the C-E translation of “Junzi”and “Xiaoren” in The Analects of Confucius, and then puts forward the point that in today's Chinese culture transmission, translators would better adopt Foreignization strategy in C-E translation practice, especially the method of transliteration plus annotation. The translation strategy will make contribution to the unification and standardization of the English equivalents for these Chinese culture-loaded words. The method of transliteration plus annotation can make the translated text acceptable to the target readers and spread Chinese culture effectively.

Key words: junzi, xiaoren, translation strategy, cultural transmission
