Study on Two Chinese Versions of the Adventures of Tom Sawyer from Perspective of Reception Aesthetics_英语论文

摘要

《汤姆·索亚历险记》是一部不朽的儿童小说，它充分展示了儿童时期具有的欢快，恐惧，追求刺激等特点。本文以“接受美学”为理论基础，选取读者的“期待视野”作为切入点，从选词和修辞两个方面对比分析《汤姆·索亚历险记》张友松译本和姚锦镕译本，以探究两位不同时期的译者对于儿童文学翻译“期待视野”的不同侧重点,指出从儿童的角度进行翻译更易使儿童理解西方儿童文学的精髓。

关键词：接受美学；期待视野；儿童文学；《汤姆·索亚历险记》
