To understand the reasons in the writer’s linguistic choices, Han Lida and Han Honghong go further。 They find that the translator has deleted all the sexual or sexually suggestive scenes and change the sentences with “clean” words。 The reasons for deletions and changes are ideology and convention。 In other words, they try to find the rationality about domesticating。
