Literature Review （书籍名应用斜体，我就不改了）As a well-known Chinese man of letters and scholar, Dr. Lin Yutang has been enjoying an international reputation in the literary circles. During his 30 years of writing in English in America, he has produced 36 books, of which Moment in Peking is the most famous. This novel is regarded as the modern version of the Chinese classic A Dream of Red Mansions, making him a candidate of the Nobel Prize for Literature for four times. A Leaf in the Storm is the sequel of Moment in Peking, praised as the Chinese Gone with the Wind by the New Y ork Times. T he wide spreading of Lin’s works in Chinese readers benefits a lot from the Zhang Zhenyu, who has translated nine of Lin’s English books into Chinese in a faithful, expressive and elegant manner. Zhang Zhenyu’s translation of Moment in Peking is one of recommended Chinese versions by Lin Rusi, the eldest daughter of Lin Yutang, and Dr. Wang Zhaosheng, the consultant of Workshop on Lin Yutang also deems Zhang’s translation version as the best one at the current stage.Moment in Peking has four Chinese versions. Before Zhang Zhenyu’s translation, in 1940, East Wind Publishing House in Beijing published the abridged Chinese version with the title of Shun Xi Jing Hua (《瞬息京华》). The translator was Bai Lin (白林). This was the first attempt to render this English novel to Chinese. Nevertheless. Lin Yutang was not grateful to Bai Lin, feeling distained to cast a look at that translation, since he took it for kind of damage to the original. In 1941, Shanghai Spring and Autumn Press published the first unabridged Chinese version of Moment in Peking, which was co-translateed by Zhengtuo (郑佗) and Ying Yuanjie (应元杰), with the title of Jing Hua Yan Yun (《京华烟云》). However, Lin Yutang himself was not satisfied with this first edition after a careful examination, deeming that the translators were not familiar with Beijing dialect enough, letting alone their misunderstanding and mistranslation thereby. In 1977, Taiwan Dehua Press published Zhang Zhenyu’s translation of Moment in Peking. Unfortunately, Lin Yutang had passed away by that time. This version became the rage in 1980s, and it has been of the greatest vit ality among all the translators. It is quite a match for Prof. Zhang (Zhang Zhenyu) to translate this masterpiece of Doctor Lin, for he not only faithfully reproduced the thought of the original, but also translated it in a vivid manner with distinctive features (Shu Qiquan, 1989:42). In 1991, the translation by Yu Fei was published, and it is a faithful one.Mr. Zhang Zhenyu has been a professor in Foreign Languages Department at Taiwan University for years. During his academic study and research at the university, he has also been concentrating on the translation practice, especially on the rendering of Dr. Lin Yutang’s English works into Chinese. After years of hard work, he has contributed to Chinese readers many excellent works, including fictions, commentary, essays, etc. Owing to his solid foundation of Chinese, most of his translations received a warm welcome among Chinese people. Today, he has been considered as expert of the study on Lin Yutang’s works.Furthermore, he has as well made a great contribution to translation theories. His representative work is Principle of Translation. This book as first published in 1964 in Taiwan with its Chinese title of Yi Xue Gai Lun (《译学概论》)，and was reprinted in 1987.研究内容、所要解决的主要问题及研究途径与方法(预期思路或技术路线)1.Research contenti. T ranslator Zhang Zhenyu’s S ubjectivityTranslator’s subjectivity means translator’s subjective initiative. On one hard, translator is limited by the original thought; on another hand, translator has the option to use the most appropriate language and form to reproduce th e original. People’s awareness on translator’s subjectivity gets more and more clear. Luo Xinzhang pointed out that: “the quality of translation primarily lies in translator, particularly translator’s capacity, and whether translator’s capacity can be fully tapped”(Wu Yicheng, 1998:50). Therefore, it is necessary to study translator’s subjectivity when dealing with translator’s thought of translator.ii. Zhang Zhenyu’s Thought of T ranslationThe author of this thesis intends to summarize Zhang Zhenyu’s thought of translation from linguistic and cultural dimensions. Based on Zhang Zhenyu’s Principles of Translation and Random Talk on Translation and translator’s preface in the Red Peony and Hu Shih And The Chinese Renaissance, the author attempts to summarize Zhang Zhenyu’s thought of translation and testify his translation thought on the base of Moment in Peking and A Leaf in the Storm.2.Research questionsi. What are the features of Zhang Zhenyu’s translation?ii. What translation strategies has Zhang Zhenyu adopted? （感觉像一个问题）iii. What’s Zhang Zhenyu’s thought of translation demonstrated in his work Principles of Translation and Random Talk on Translation and implied in his Chinese translation?3.Research methodologyi. Integrating general study with case studyThis research focuses on Zhang Zhenyu’s thought of translation. Altogether, ZhangZhenyu has translated Lin Yutang’s nine works. Due to the abundance of material and limits of author’s capacity and time, it is impossible to do a comprehensive analysis. So theresearch only emphasizes on the most typical one Moment in Peking, and its sequel A Leaf in the Storm.ii. Comparative studyBesides the factor of translators’ linguistic competence, translator s’different thought of translation, and different translation strategies serve as the most influential factor in impacting translation quality. Comparative study enables us to perceive different strategies adopted by different translator. For Moment in Peking, the author will make a comparative study between Zhang Zhenyu’s version and Yu Fei’s version; for A Leaf in the Storm, Zhang Zhenyu’s version and Liang Shoutao’s, Liang Lvping’s version will be chosen for analysis. Distinctive language difference can help us get a better understanding of Zhang Zhenyu’s tran slation thought and strategies, as well as the value of Zhang Zhenyu’s translation.AppendixBibliographyPrimary References （所有，在最后部分都少点号）[1] Lin Yutang.
