‘Travel’ has recently emerged as a key theme for the academic disciplines of literature in terms that the travel writing text could be appreciated as a body of work which offered an insight into the complex and intermixed hybridity of cultures in the colonial or postcolonial era. The paper argues that travel writing text is a kind of cultural translation on the basis that translation can be viewed not only as linguistic translcoding but also as interpretation or criticism of a culture, and it largely focuses on the mode of cultural translation of Stedman’s Narrative of a Five Years Expedition to analyze cultural complexities or hybridities of “contact zone” between the non-European and the European cultures. Stedman was standing on the boundary line of culture, race, and politics as a cultural translator who has am ambivalent perspective, and produced a travel writing text which contains the colonial expansion of Europe, the revolts of natives against the Europeans, exotic nature, and ‘romantic’ transracial love between a marron slave girl and the writer himself. It is very interesting that the authenticity of contents of this text uncertain because Stedman, a translator interpreted and transformed the original text(sources of text) according to the taste of receivers, and also he became somehow assimilated to the culture of Surinam. The text produced under these contexts is a representation itself of cultural hybridity of contact zone, and I think it is an essence of cultural translation text.
