“…As power is important in translation studies after cultural turn [28], [29], translation is unavoidably involving the interaction of different cultures and powers that ethical and political choices are under consideration for translators and researchers [30].

Fenghuang and phoenix from ancient myths are both culture-loaded words that have unique features and comprehensive historical developing routes. This paper focuses on their translations to find out the reflected cultural issues and power influences under the ideas of cultural identity and language power. Classic literatures like The Analects and The Tempest in bilingual versions are compared in terms of the translation for both animals, as well as by searching the different social backgrounds and timelines of those literatures. The mixed usage of phoenix and fenghuang in both Chinese (East) and English (West) culture makes confusions but also enriches both languages and cultures.

This article presents the findings of a study investigating the socio-cultural dimensions of work songs among the fisherfolk of the Winneba Fishing Community in Ghana's central region. It explores the significance of work songs in the daily lives of fisherfolk and their broader socio-cultural impact within the community. Employing a qualitative approach and utilizing a case study design, the authors gathered data through interviews, observations, and focus group discussions involving fifteen purposively sampled fisherfolk. The study was underpinned by the theories of Sense of Community as well as Understanding Music Making of a community. It was found that work songs are integral to various fishing activities in the Winneba fishing community, serving to foster community cohesion, enhance productivity, and preserve cultural heritage. The findings offer practical recommendations for the preservation and promotion of work songs within the Winneba fishing community.
