Application of Functionalist Theory to E-C Translation of Children’s Picture Storybooks —A Case Study of Translation of Leo Lionni’s Works_英语论文

摘要

随着文化全球化发展的趋势不断加强，越来越多的英语儿童绘本引入中国市场。儿童绘本作为儿童文学的一部分，专门为儿童设计形象的图片和生动的故事。然而，儿童绘本的翻译却没有得到足够的重视，许多翻译作品质量不佳。

本课题将运用功能主义理论，以李欧•李奥尼的绘本为例，对英语儿童绘本的翻译方法进行研究。希望本课题能够提高翻译领域对于功能主义重视，为今后英语儿童绘本的翻译研究提供一定的理论帮助。。
