A Study on Sondergard’s Translation from the Perspective of Narratology

Abstract

Chinese classical novels have great influence and high literary value. Sinologist Sidney L. Sondergard’s relatively new complete translation have received little attention and research. Combining narrative theories, this paper takes the translation of Sondergard as the core and uses other translation versions of the same work as a reference to analyze the inspiration of Sondergard’s translation for Chinese classic books.
