sp; different  resources  used  to  express  meaning  in communication. The term is adopted both to describe human communication phenomena and to identify the diversification and continuous development of research fields(Adami 451).

As  a  communication  phenomenon,  multimodality  defines  a  combination  of  different semiotic resources or patterns in text and communication events, such as  static and dynamic pictures,  writing,  gestures,  layout,  and  speech.  What’s  more,  as  a  field  of  inquiry, multimodality  research  involves  the  development  of  theories,  analytical  tools,  and descriptions.  These  studies  use  modes  as  organizational  principles  to  study  expression  and communication.

2.2 Verbal-Visual Relationship

Children’s picture books are constructed by the interaction of two different ways(verbal and  visual),  and  they  convey  information  in  very  different  ways.  As  a  result,  it’s  of  vital importance to figure out the verbal-visual relationship before the translation practice.

Until now, the verbal content of the text is still the main bearer of meaning; while other factors  are  in  a  non-central  position,  transmitting  the  extended  information  of  the  verbal content. However, with regard to the visual-verbal relationship, recent research opinions hold that:  with  visual  texts  as  the  dominant  form,  verbal  texts  play  an  auxiliary  role;  or verbal-visual  texts  jointly  determine  the  meaning  of  text.  Many  functional  classifications  of verbal-visual  relations  are  now  based  on  this  view  (for  instance  Nikolajeva  &  Scott 2000;Marsh  &  White  2003;  Martinec  &  Salway  2005;  Pastra  2008).  Compared  with  how images  help  text  to  convey  information,  scholars  in  this  field  focus  more  on  the  interaction between images and text. Accurately understanding how different symbols interact to produce meaning  is  the  basis  for  studying  multimodality,  because  this  process  embodies  the  way  in which  multimodal  text  conveys  information.  This  is  more  important  in  multimodal  research aimed  at  translation,  because  translation  is  not  only  to  convey  semantic  representation,  but also to pursue similar interpretation.
