Eileen Chang rose to fame because her Half a Lifelong Romance translated by Karen S.Kinsbury was widely accepted by overseas readers.The paper probes into the translator’s visibility in the stage of comprehension and representation,aiming to find how she translated it by choosing the text with her literary quality,and by foreignizing it with her cultural identity,aesthetics and readers’concept.The appropriate“visibility”of the translator ensures the success of Half a Lifelong Romance,and has redefined the relationship among the translator,reader and writer,which provides a new model for the“going abroad of Chinese literature”.
