This paper examines the values of source text and those of target text in an effort to find the possible reason for the unexpected and surprisingly high acceptance of Please Look After Mom among American readers. PLAM is a story of a typical Korean mother who is lost in a big city. Searching their mother with dementia, the grown-up children and the father recall her life of dedication and sacrifice for them and feel guilty about their selfishness. The story touched a lot of target readers and became a bestseller. As an ordinary person, the protagonist practices the multi-layered traditional values of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the local folk belief unconsciously in daily life. These values are so deeply related together like a circle. But for the target readers, the straight values of reasoning and logic are important to understand the world. Therefore on the assumption that the TT readers have difficulties to understand the Koreaness in ST, the translator changes the expressions based on the complex values to the terms of simple and straight values of Westerners through the strategy of domestication. As a result, the TT readers read PLAM as if it was written in English without any ideological barrier to get the impression of the intimate spare in it.
Abstract
This paper examines the values of source text and those of target text in an effort to find the possible reason for the unexpected and surprisingly high acceptance of Please Look After Mom among American readers. PLAM is a story of a typical Korean mother who is lost in a big city. Searching their mother with dementia, the grown-up children and the father recall her life of dedication and sacrifice for them and feel guilty about their selfishness. The story touched a lot of target readers and became a bestseller. As an ordinary person, the protagonist practices the multi-layered traditional values of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the local folk belief unconsciously in daily life. These values are so deeply related together like a circle. But for the target readers, the straight values of reasoning and logic are important to understand the world. Therefore on the assumption that the TT readers have difficulties to understand the Koreaness in ST, the translator changes the expressions based on the complex values to the terms of simple and straight values of Westerners through the strategy of domestication. As a result, the TT readers read PLAM as if it was written in English without any ideological barrier to get the impression of the intimate spare in it.
