Principles of Drama Translation Based on Stage Performance — A Case Study of Wilde’s Plays

Abstract

Drama is an art that goes to audience and is easy to resonate with audience. Thus drama translation has to be audience-directed and stage performance-oriented, otherwise the translated drama is not easy to be accepted by the audience and can not be counted a success. Based on the above conception, this thesis ventures to take the translations of the renowned plays of “the master of drama”, Oscar Wilde, to discuss the principles of drama translation.
