A Study of the Subjectivity of the Translator in Zhu Shenghao's Translations

Through the study of translator's subjectivity, this paper finds that the research on translator's subjectivity mainly focuses on the translation style and translation strategy, and lacks the research on the initiative and importance of translator's subjectivity. Based on the theoretical framework of hermeneutics, this study takes Zhu Shenghao's initiative in translating Shakespeare's The Tempest as an example to explore the importance of translator's initiative in the translation process. This paper expounds that the translator's motivation is closely related to his translation practice, translation strategy, literary accomplishment and social and historical context, so as to explore the profound significance of focusing on the translator's subjectivity.
