A Study on Application of the "Three-D" Translation Theory in Novel The Travels of Lao Ts'an——Taking Harold Shadick’s Translation Version For Example_英语论文

摘要

生态翻译学是胡庚申教授首次提出的一门新兴的翻译理论。该理论立足于达尔文生物进化论中的“适应选择”思想，将译者的翻译行为与其所处的语言生态环境相结合，创立了基于语言维、文化维和交际维基础上“三维转换”的全新的翻译方法。本文旨在研究在生态翻译视阈下，“三维转换”理论在中国小说史上负有盛名的被誉为晚清四大谴责小说之一的《老残游记》的英译本中的应用情况。
