He initiated modem literary translation in China, and his translations imported new ideas, literary concepts, styles and techniques from the West. These, in turn, influenced the emergence and development of modern Chinese literature. Nevertheless, Lin Shu and his translations have been belittled and even dismissed for various reasons over the years. The emergence and development of target/culture-oriented translation theories offer the possibility of re-assessing Lin Shu and his translations. This thesis concentrates on Lin Shu's translation strategy beyond the equivalence, termed"Poetic Equivalence", namely Liu Shu's adaptation of the original. It includes adaptation, omission, addition, alteration and abridgment, which is often regarded as untruthful to the original and is thus often criticized. In fact, the translation strategy of Lin Shu was mostly based on his attention to the needs of the Chinese culture and the acceptability by the Chinese readers.展开更多

In translating the western literature works, Lin Shu himself also began to engage in the creation of novels. Among them, the short story turns to be more complicated in the ideological tendency. Lin Shu＇ s simple democratic consciousness has been fully displayed in it, and it mainly reflects in the three aspects of exposing and criticizing of dark reality, gallant spirit publicity and free marriage praise.展开更多
