they are unwilling to understand the culture behind clothes or the flavor of the times contained in those clothes. The book reflects the culture behind clothes through the changes of modern British clothes, which may give people some enlightenment.

 2  Process Description

2.1  Preparation before Translation

Preparation before translation is able to equip the translator with sufficient knowledge to have a deeper understanding of Shaping Femininity：Foundation Garments, the Body and Women in Early Modern England. 

Firstly, the translator needs to understand the writing style, structure and background information of this book by reading the source text seriously, which is critical for the translator to further analyze the source text. As a social science text, the source text is characterized by careful wording and complex logical relations. 

Secondly, the translator tries to find related information about the garments and characters introduced in this book. The book contains numerous characters, including queens, courtiers, farmers’ wives and servants from different periods, so the translator has to figure out the characteristics and lifestyles of these people. Some online search engines are frequently used to gain information as much as possible, including Bing, Wikipedia and Baidu. Besides, a large number of proper nouns can be found in the source text. To achieve more accurate translation, the translator understands the meaning of those proper nouns with the help of dictionaries and the Internet. 

2.2  Translation Process

After adequate preparation, the translation process is to be conducted. The translation process lasts about two months and can be divided into three parts: analysis of the source text, translation and typesetting. 

Firstly, the source text is a social science text with lots of proper nouns as well as long and complex sentences. The language of the whole text is objective, accurate and interesting. Accurate understanding of the source text is the prerequisite for the whole process of translation. Here, the translator takes one of the proper nouns as an example, the word “body” usually refers to “the main part of your body, dead body or an organized group of people who deal with something officially, etc.”, but in the source text, it refers to a kind of foundation garments. Therefore, the translator needs to consult large amounts of data and materials to clarify the real meaning of those proper nouns. 

Then, the translator makes a plan to translate about 200-300 words every day. Because of differences between English and Chinese as well as the style of language in the source text, the translator thinks over the structure and style of translation. After about 55 days, the first draft is almost finished. During the translation, some difficulties need to be resolved to achieve more accurate translation. For instance, several ballads in the source text are difficult to translate, so the translator understands the characteristics and wording of English Ballads from the Internet. After that, the translator makes a new attempt and obtains better translation.
