本文主要从翻译理论角度来探讨儿童文学翻译的常用策略。通过对儿童文学及儿童文学翻译基本情况的分析，我们能够发现，即使外国优秀文学的中译本很多，但能被称为优秀翻译作品的却不多，关于此方面的纯理论研究更是少之又少。本文通过对《彼得潘》及其主要中译本的研究，总结了一些常用的儿童文学翻译策略，其中最主要的是分别从语言和文化的角度介绍了归化和异化的用法。

Abstract

    This thesis is a study on common strategies of children’s literature translation from the perspective of translation theory.

After studying on Peter Pan and its Chinese versions, I sum up some common strategies of children’s literature translation. Among them, the most important is the usage of domestication in language and foreignization in culture.

As a branch of literature, children’s literature has two fundamental features: literariness and children-orientation. But in terms of translation strategy, the study of children’s literature translation in our country mainly follows the tradition----in the direction of language. While overseas study of that has gone beyond frame of the only linguistics. They have achieved a cultural turn, in other words, regarding children as the only footing and aim, emphasizing on functionality and acceptability of translation. On that basis, domestic research should promote continuous development in experience according to our own situation.
