Since its publication, it receives warm welcome from western readers but dispute also exists due to some mistranslations. This paper aims to use rewriting theory to evaluate this work from a fresh perspective.Rewriting theory, which was proposed by Andre Lefevere, asserts that ideology, poetics and patronage would exert influence on translation. With analysis of the original work, notes of Fenollosa, it can be concluded that Cathay is under the manipulation of ideology and poetics of Pound's era. With regard to ideology, The World WarⅠinfluences the subject Pound chose and the methods he used. On the part of poetics, Pound launched Imagism Movement against the dominant Victorian poetics. Direct images,concise language and free verse are embedded in Cathay.展开更多

Since the rewriting theory was put forward, it has been widely studied and effectively applied in translation practice. Taking Lefevere’s rewriting theory asits theoretical basis and the Chinese subtitle translation of the Disney film Mulan as its corpus, this thesis adopts a qualitative research method to analyze the rewriting phenomenon in subtitle translation. The thesis attempts to sum up the strategies adopted bythe translator in the rewriting, as well as the factors affecting and manipulating the rewriting. The study demonstrates that the translator’s rewriting behavior has been manipulated by both ideology and poetics. The translator has adopted Chinese idioms and folkadages, highlighted the traditional Chinese culture and used alternative words to rewrite, all of which helps to transcend the ideological differences and cater to the needs of the Chinese audience.展开更多
