Abstrakt: Under the guidance of Ideological Square Model, this paper conducts a critical metaphor analysis of the metaphor shifts in translating the Communist Party of China's centenary speech. The results demonstrate that (1) six types of metaphors are identified in the ST and while all the types are kept, shifts do occur in the TT; (2) cultural considerations and linguistic representations engendering the metaphor shifts are subjugated to and mediated by the ideological kernel of presenting a desired CPC Self-image; (3) the Chinese traditional philosophy of He (harmony) is a feasible complement to the Ideological Square Model in making sense of particular metaphor shifts in translating Chinese political discourse into a foreign language. The study observes that Chinese political translation is often institutional translation. It is argued that metaphor shifts, in this translation context, are ideologically motivated, culturally mediated, and linguistically configured collective endeavours. Chinese political translation, as compared to the traditional view of translation as an ST-bound transference, is an ideologically determined, source-philosophy-channelled, and image-building-oriented verbal activity that conforms to China's national interests.
