- Abstract
At present, many scholars have written analyses and research on literary works and their translations, most of which are carried out around the translation methods and translation styles of translators, while there are relatively few studies on translators and their translations based on the differences and needs of The Times. Based on the four Chinese translations of Tagore's famous Gitanjali, this study will compare the translations of four translators over a wide period under the condition of unification of works and languages, to more specifically analyze the translation needs of texts in different times and the translation characteristics of translators under the influence of The Times. To make up for the gap in contemporary translation in comparative literature worldwide, it is conducive to the cross-cultural communication of literary works.
