英文摘要 | Although international attention has been paid to Daniel Dafoe's Robinsoa Crusoe again from a post-colonial perspective, Chinese scholars have to face several preexistent questions, namely, when do we begin to talk about Robinson Crusoe? And what do we talk about? How has the novel been translated and rewritten into Chinese? This article examines Shen Zufen's first abbreviated Chinese translation of Robinson Crusoe, Desert Island Tale. Written in late Qing vernacular, Shen's Crusoe has been recreated as the then popular Columbus-like hero. With the purpose of inspiring teenagers, Shen erases the religious moralism of the English original and gives prominence to the adventures in the plot, thereby naturalizes the main protagonist. In this respect, to a considerable degree, the language, intention and psychology of the colonialist narrative that permeate the original text have been rewritten. The Chinese translation is thus an amalgam of Chinese and Western cultural ideals. It reflects the intrinsic synthesis of. colonialist and nationalist narratives. |
