On Children’s Literature Translation From the Horizon of Expectations ---- A Case Study of Ren’s Version of The Wind in the Willows_英语论文

摘要

随着儿童文学阅读推广以及对国外儿童文学需求的增长，儿童文学翻译研究的重要性日益凸显。肯尼思•格雷厄姆的《柳林风声》,作为世界儿童文学的经典作品之一，自出版之日起就饱受青睐与好评，被译为多国文字，一版再版。“期待视野”是接受理论中一个非常重要的概念，为儿童文学翻译研究提供了崭新的方法。因此，本论文选取任溶溶译本《柳林风声》为研究对象，以期待视野作为理论框架，从词汇、句法、上下文、文化的角度探讨译者是如何充分考虑儿童的期待视野从而进行翻译的，同时提出相关建议。
