广西儿童文学英译是新时期广西儿童文学对外传播,再次走向国际的重要一环。该文以目的论为指导,明确了广西儿童文学的翻译目的,并结合具体实践总结了广西儿童文学翻译的技巧:一是要关注语言的形象性,用直译或意译再现原文修辞效果,引起儿童读者阅读兴趣;二是要关注语言的可接受性,译文要考虑译入语读者的思维方式和表达方式,可通过减译来重新组织译文信息;三是要关注语言的知识性,通过文外增译为原文补充丰富的文化信息,使读者在阅读的过程中拓宽视野;四是要关注语言的文学性,对于童谣体裁,译文需要尽量保留原文特有的语言形式,可以通过调整语序、增译、换韵方式来呈现原文文学性。

The C-E translation of Guangxi children's literature is a crucial step in its course of going to the international arena in the new era.This article,guided by the Skopos theory,clarifies the translation purposes of Guangxi children's literature.It combines specific practices to summarize translation techniques.First,attention should be paid to the vividness of language.Literal or free translation can be adopted to reproduce the rhetorical effects of the original so as to captivate children readers.Second,language acceptability should be taken into account.The translation should adapt itself to the readers'way of thinking and expression and reorganize the information through omission.Third,emphasize should be given to the informativeness of the language by supplementing cultural richness to the original text through extratextual additions,which can help broaden readers'horizon.Fourth,attention should be paid to highlight the literariness of the language,especially for nursery rhymes,translation should strive to preserve the original linguistic forms by syntax adjustment,addition,or rhyme alteration to present the literary attainments of the original text.
