In order to clarify the essence of Pound＇s early poetics under the influence of Chinese classical poems, the paper starts from the discussion of the influence of Cathay （1915） and his translation of Cathay; then it provides a detailed analysis of the relationship between Chinese classical poems and Pound＇s creation; and finally it has given an analysis of ＂In a Station of the Metro＂. Pound absorbed different poetic concepts from all of them and transformed his poetry from the conventional Romanticism to the innovative Modemism. What Pound innovated in the poetry composition is of great importance if the new era wishes to shake off the banality and out-of-date tradition in literature. Pound changed a whole generation of poets and set a good example for those who desire to write in a new way展开更多

A similar process was experienced by scholars who apply the theory. In this paper, the author explores Gary Snyder＇s ＂defamiliarization＂ technique of translating classic Chinese poems Departing from the traditional critique of the form and structure of the text, the author applies the ＂defamiliarization theory＂ itself towards the understanding of Snyder＇s art and thinking and a discussion of his literature, ideology, and creativity, thereby restoring a true image of Gary Snyder as a poet and a translator展开更多
