The position of the translator has been improved and the role of the translator has begun to be recognized since the field of translation studies multifaceted and deepened. In order to analyze the translator's subjectivity better, the thesis states comprehensive definitions of the translator's subjectivity and uses Wolf Totem as a case study, whose author is Jiang Rong and the translator is Howard Goldblatt, to show that how the translator Howard Goldblatt utilizes his subjectivity in the translation process.展开更多

This paper attempts to make a tentative probe into the translator's subjectivity manifested in the translation of Fu Sheng Liu Ji by Shen Fu on the basis of George Steiner's fourfold translation motion theory, namely"trust", "aggression","incorporation"and"compensation". By the study, we may obtain scientific understanding of how the translation is shaped by the translator's subjectivity, thus affirming the importance and necessity of the later in literary translation.展开更多
