The purpose of this paper is to discover some features of Chinese translation of Korean onomatopoeia, which include onomatopoeic and mimetic expressions. The study analyzed 115 expressions from the 16 works of hangari (pot) which is written by Chung Ho-sung, one of the most well-known Korean writers. The Chinese translations were found to be classified into five different types: 1) maintaining onomatopoeia; 2) switching into patterns; 3) providing explanations; 4) deleting and 5) differentiating interpretations. The result showed that Type 3 (providing explanations) was most frequently used, being responsible for 39% of all the Chinese translations. Type 1, maintaining onomatopoeia, was responsible only for 26% of the translations, confirming that Korean has much more abundant onomatopoeia than Chinese. The other three types ranged from 10% to 14%, which requires some particular attentions of the translators. Finally, the study suggests a specific classroom activity which can facilitate effective learning of onomatopoeic translations of Korean into Chinese.
