This study examines the relationality of parts in the corporate profile translations of China's MNCs by integrating William Labov's narrative structure with Margaret Somers' narrative identity theory. A theoretical thematic analysis reveals that episodes in corporate profiles are not randomly selected but follow predominant patterns (temporal or causal sequencing). However, shifts in relationality from Chinese source texts to English target texts are diverse, reflecting the fluid and unique features of corporate identities. The findings have implications for translation studies and corporate communications.
