Abstract

This article takes a corpus-based approach and conducts a research that investigates the different protagonist images shaped in three different translations of Kuang Ren Ri Ji. It is argued that Lovell’s translation shapes a protagonist with diluted features of the original one, Lyell’s translation shapes a protagonist with enhanced features of the original one, and Yang’s translation shapes a protagonist similar to the original one. The reasons for that fall into two aspects: translation strategy and sociocultural ideologies. This research also sheds light on the possibility of exploring the reception of Chinese literature from the perspective of cultural impressions.
