A Study On E-c Translation Of Children's Literature From The Perspective Of Toury's Translation Norms

In the 1980 s,Toury put forward the theory of translation norms.He believes that translation is dominated by norms.In practical translation,translators are often constrained by three kinds of norms: preliminary norms,initial norms and operational norms.Domestic scholars have applied Toury's translation theory to text analysis,domestication and foreignization analysis,translation and literature,and translation and cultural analysis.However,the study of translation of children's literature based on Toury's translation norms is still rare.This thesis studies the guiding role of Toury's translation norms in children's literature translation.Based on the analysis of the current research situation of overseas and domestic children's literature translation at home and abroad,this thesis expounds the definition and research value of Toury's translation norms,and puts forward the problem of insufficient research on children's literature translation from the perspective of Toury's translation norms.Under the case study of The Voyages of Doctor Dolitle,this thesis points out the guiding role of Toury's translation norms in children's literature translation by comparing and analyzing two Chinese versions of The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle under the framework of Toury's translation norms.Through this study,the universal applicability of Toury's translation norms is verified,and the guiding role of three norms in children's literature translation is affirmed.It is hoped that this study can promote the development of theoretical research on children's literature translation in China,and provide necessary reference for the follow-up scholars in the field of children's literature translation.
