Study on Retranslation of Literature Works from Acceptance Theory

Na WANG

Abstract


Acceptance theory considers that text is open and indefinite and different readers have different comprehension and interpretation. This essay tries to investigate the process of literature translation and analyses the causes and necessity of the retranslation of literature works from the aspect of both translators and readers. In the meantime, it looks into the criticism of traditional translation theory and the instructive importance of specific translation practice. Key words: acceptance theory, literature translation, retranslation Résumé: La théorie d'acceptation considère que le texte est ouvert et indéfini et les différents lecteurs ont la compréhension et l'interprétation différentes.
