The Study and Comparison of the Translation of the Two Chinese Versions of Harry Potter Under the Perspective of Children’s Literature-With the Example of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

摘要

作者通过对“哈利.波特”两中译本的阅读，发现了台湾和大陆翻译家在语言风格，遣词用句，以及对源语言的理解和传达上都有着不同之处。而这些不同之处可能会给儿童读者带来不同的阅读感受。所以笔者将以“哈利.波特与魔法石”为例来对两中译本进行对比研究。笔者通过文献研究法了解了儿童文学、翻译理论、儿童文学翻译以及与此论文有关的一些研究报告。在本文中，笔者决定以严复“信、达、雅”的翻译原则为本文译本对比的指导思想，结合儿童文学的特点对这两个译本进行对比分析。文中通过大量的实例对比分析总结出了一些儿童文学翻译的要点，即，儿童文学的翻译应在遵循一般文学翻译原则——¬—信、达、雅，的基础上需更加注重语言的准确、简洁生动以及儿童文学作品最重要的“趣味”的准确传达。
