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
