Translation Stories from Modern China
"This book could be called the autobiography of a translator: it describes how trailblazer Bonnie S. McDougall goes to China, unintentionally takes Chinese as a university subject, and develops a passion for modern Chinese literature, finally turning that into an obsession with translating it. It contains details about encounters with some of the most avant-garde writers in China in the early 1980s, followed by a different kind of fascination with the love life and sexual history of Lu Xun and Xu Guangping in the 1920s and 1930s, a story up till then neglected in Lu Xun studies. The next three chapters focus on modern Hong Kong literature, bringing these stories up to the present. The penultimate chapter deals with articles on literary translation, followed by a chapter on what McDougall calls her current obsession on the theme: "we own our own words."

Translation Zones in Modern China
Written by renowned sinologist Bonnie S. McDougall, this is the first full-length, detailed, and theorized treatment in any language of Chinese-English literary translation transactions and will stand as the major primary source of future studies. It opens up new corners of modern Chinese culture and society that sinologists have hitherto overlooked. This book begins by setting out these two contrasting models of translation that co-existed in China during the 1980s: the authoritarian model and the reciprocal, or gift-exchange, model. The following chapters set down the actual circumstances of each model as it operated in its own zone, in the first such testimony from an active observer and ...
旧雪
