Abstract

[Purpose/significance] The external translation of excellent books in the humanities and social sciences is an important way for Chinese culture to go abroad. Establishing an external translation book evaluation system can demonstrate the influence of books and provide guidance for the selection of content types of external translation books. [Method/process] From the 10 dimensions that reflect the academic influence and social influence of the external translation books, the evaluation indicators are refined. Using the entropy weight method to calculate the weights of each index, the comprehensive scores of academic influence and social influence are calculated by weighted averaging, and then an empirical analysis is performed on the external translation books which are funded by Chinese academic translation project. [Result/conclusion] The absolute value of the difference between domestic and foreign impact rankings of 40.84% books is greater than 10; the external translation of books with high domestic academic influence have not attracted the attention of foreign scholars; the social influence of external translation books is generally lower. When selecting the content type of an external translation book, it is necessary to examine the academic influence and social influence of the book both at home and abroad.
