林語堂 번역론 연구 = A Study on Lin Yu Tang’s(林語堂) Theory of Translation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Lin Yu Tang is known as a translation theorist, who put forwarded Esthetic translation theory, one of ten translation theories in China. The author shows in this thesis that Lin’s theory serves as a bridge leading to the translation theory of Guo Mo Ruo(郭沫若), transcending Xindayalun(信达雅论, a translation theory)proposed by Yan Fu(嚴復). The author reviews the process in which Lin becomes a writer by taking a look at his life and career.


Lin Yu Tang claimed that Yanfu’s Xindayalun corresponds with his three standards of translation: accuracy, coherence and beauty. Lin’s standard of beauty spans much larger scope than Yanfu’s Ah comprises. Lin said thattranslation is an art to the extent that art is a creative activity. He argues that a translator should be equipped with creative ability and literary experience.


He also stressed the talent and training of a translator. He said that a translator should be able to understand fully the original text and to speak Chinese fluently. He shied away from the use of the terms such as literal translation and contextual translation. Instead, tried, without much success, to use the terms, word-for-word translation and phrasal translation.


He emphasized the responsibility of a translator as a writer, reader and artist. He made it clear that a final responsibility of a translation falls on the shoulder of a translator. The author also showed Lin Yu Tang status as a translator who translated Chinese texts to English and as a writer who wrote in English.
