Abstract

The publication of Feng Tang's translation of Stray Birds has aroused great controversy, but there are still many excellent translations in Feng's version. Based on Reiss's theory of translation criticism, this paper analyzes Zheng Zhenduo's and Feng Tang's translations reasonably and comprehensively so as to point out the highlights of Feng's rendering from the perspectives of the intralingual elements including vocabulary, semantics, grammar and style and the extralingual elements such as the context, translation purposes and audience.
