五四时期文学翻译的方法

Method of literature translating during the period of “May 4th”

五四时期直译的呼声高涨。除了直译意译之外,还有“神译”等提法。白话在翻译文学中升帐挂帅,但并不意味着绝对摒弃文言。对于丰富多样的外国文学作品,根据不同情况,可采取全译、节译、编译、译述等多种方式。

During the period of ＂May 4th＂, voice of ＂literal translation＂ ran high. Besides literal translation and free translation, there was ＂romantic charm translation＂ . The vernacular began to dominate in translated literature but classical Chinese was not discarded completely. According to different conditions, whole translation, abridged translation, translating and editing, or translating freely were adopted for rich and varied foreign literature.
