Then the writer selects some difficulties and key points in the translation of children’s literature. Meanwhile, corresponding and proper translation strategies and solutions are adopted to solve these obstacles. Following the case study, the translator chooses the lexical strategies including selection of word meaning, omission, supplement and conversion, repetition and linear interpretation, division and integration, amplification of syntactic strategies. The translator strives to maximise the appeal to readers. Suggestions and reflections on the deficiencies and problems existing in the translation are presented as well.The purpose of this translation task is to fulfil the translation task as requested and expand the excellent foreign works. After that, the writer has a better understanding of what a successful translation project is.
