Abstract: According to Bourdieu's conception of capital， the accumulation of cultural capital， social capital， and symbolic capital by translators has a decisive impact on their performance in translation activities. By applying the theory of capital to the study of Qiu Baibai's capital structure and types， this research analyzes the effects of translator capital on the process of translation and the dissemination of translated works. It is found that Qu Qiubai's translator capital is mainly cultural capital， supplemented by social capital and symbolic capital. It runs through the three stages of pre-translation， translation， and post-translation， affecting his translation motivation， material selection， translation mode， concepts and strategy， as well as the publication， reprinting， and dissemination of his translated works.

Key words: translator; Bourdieu's conception of capital; translation and dissemination process; Qu Qiubai
