摘　 要

翻译工作除了常见的汉译英，英译汉，还有一种特殊的翻译，即当内容是中国事物的英文原著时要翻译成中文时，就涉及翻译中的还原问题，用英语表达具有中国特色成分的成分即是将这种文化“携带过去”。因此，该类描述中国事物的英文作品即承担着文化翻译的职务。当译者再将该类作品译成中文时，这在一定程度上便是一种文化还原的问题————回译。基于Peter Newmark对文化因素的归类，作者浅析了林语堂是如何处理京华烟云中的中国文化，从译者主体性的角度，根据相同文化的情况下，诠释了两个译本的比较研究。影响两位译者对目标语的不准确重塑主要有以下几方面：即译者对相关文化背景知识的缺乏，忽视译文语境，对原文信息的随意删减及对源语背景认识不清。

Based on Peter Newmark’s categorization of cultural elements, the author probes how Lin Yu tang deals with Chinese culture in Moment in Peking. Four major factors leading to two translators” inaccurate reconstruction in the TT are concluded as the translators’s inadequacies of relevant cultural knowledge, neglect of the context, willful deletion of original information and obscure knowledge in the ST.
