Abstract

Gulliver’s Travels is a long travelogue-style satirical novel written by English writer Jonathan Swift, first published in 1726. Due to its unique fantasy adventure, it becomes a classic children’s literature when it is translated into China. This paper examines the definitions of children as well as children’s literature by different critics in the world, analyzes the translation methods adopted for children readers in Gulliver’s Travels (children’s illustrated version with phonetic notation) published by Tiandi Press, and concludes with a commentary.
