A Study on Early Translationof Iu-Kiao-Li,A Novel about Gifted Scholars and Beautiful Ladies in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Western Countries:Versions,History,Value and Translator’s Identity

明清才子佳人小说的代表《玉娇梨》被译介到西方后产生了很大的影响。但是由于目前对其译介研究主要关注雷慕沙译本,而对其他早期译本缺乏关注,跨版本的系统性研究更鲜有开展,导致这部古典小说的早期西译研究还存在较大的空白。本研究通过历史梳理,对历史上四个具有重要意义和价值的早期译本进行挖掘和研究,从版本、历史、价值与译者身份等方面再现早期西方对中国古典小说的译介图景,为中国古典小说在西方早期译介研究提供一个新的视角。

The translation of Iu-Kiao-Li,a typical Chinese romantic novel in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,has great influence in western countries.However,the current research on its translation mainly focuses on the version translated by French scholar and translator Remusat,while lacking attention to other early translations,and the systematic study across versions is even more rarely carried out,leaving a large gap in the research on the early Western translations of this classical novel.Through reviewing the history,this study excavates and researches four historically significant and valuable early translations,presenting a portrait of early translation of Chinese classical novels in the West from four perspectives,i.e.versions,history,value and translator’s identity,so as to provide a new perspective for the study of early translation of Chinese classical novels in the west.
