- Abstract:
- Over the past 80 plus years, studies on Chinese to English(C-E)translation of Shui Hu Zhuan have made great achievements. With the help of much more diversified research corpora, research methods have been shifted from textual analysis of English versions to its integration with different translation environments. Also, the tone of studies, rid of extremity, tends to be more objective and dialectical. However, there are some problems deserving our attention. Without sufficient studies on the versions of J. H. Jackson and of John and Alex Dent-Young, as well as comparative studies on other versions, relevant historical studies have developed slowly, and studies on the translation system of Shui Hu Zhuan’s stylistic features are in urgent need. Hence, scholars should take a serious attitude and improve their research methods, so as to systematically examine: the versions of J. H. Jackson and of John and Alex Dent-Young; the evaluations of readers abroad on different versions; the translation system of Shui Hu Zhuan’s stylistic features; and the re-translations of Shui Hu Zhuan against new contexts.
