Studies of Translation Norms of Ai Xi La Ge by Ma Junwu: Within the Framework of Andrew Chesterman’s Theory of Translation Norms

Abstract

Ai Xi La Ge, which is translated by Ma Junwu is the first complete Chinese translated text of The Isles of Greece by Byron. It has a far-reaching influence. This thesis attempts to study the translation norms of Ai Xi La Ge under the influences of social-cultural conditions and translating habits of the translator from the four aspects of expectancy norms, accountability norm, communication norm and relation norm within the framework of Andrew Chesterman’s theory of translation norms.
