Based on the comparable corpus of translated Chinese and original Chinese, this paper studies the explicitation of personal pronouns in translated Chinese. The results show that: (1) on the whole, the explicit characteristics of personal pronouns in translated Chinese are obvious; (2) The explicitation of the third personal pronoun is more obvious than that of the first and second personal pronouns, and the translation process, purpose and strategy and the source language shining through effect are the reasons for the explicitation.
