Features: This book deepens and develops the dynamic research on literary translation. On one hand, it enhances the understanding of the linguistic meaning of the text by incorporating an appreciation of artistic aesthetic factors and the complete structure. On the other hand, it analyzes and describes the subject of the translator—whose role is both cognitive and aesthetic—on a new level, delving into the internal capacity factors of the translator's aesthetic behavior. Combining linguistics, literary aesthetics, cognitive psychology, and reading theory, it offers some basic suggestions for the aesthetic approaches of translators in the process of literary translation, and demonstrates these suggestions through comparative analysis of translation examples.
