Research on the Image Construction of Typical Character in Outlaws of the Marsh and Its English Translation:A Case Study of Shapiro's Translation of LU Zhishen
Focusing on the most important figure of the classic image of LU Zhishen in,Outlaws of the Marsh,through checking original work and construction of LU Zhishen's image in Sidney Shapiro's translation,it is found that Shapiro generally can construct a similar image through recurring the original language,motion and mental description.As a translator,Shapiro's excellent control over English language and translating skills are well displayed when some parts are dealt with from Chinese to English;however,with English as his native language,Shapiro sometimes cannot bypass some understanding problems caused by Chinese and its cultures,which is likely to damage the transplantation of typical image from the original work to its English version.
