3. 国内外研究现状

Mostof previous research appreciated Zhao Yuanren#8217;s translation, while only alittle research pointed out that some of his translation needed improving. Theprevious research also analyzed Zhao Yuanren#8217;s translation methods and writingstyle.

Interms of translation methods, Shi Si [施思] (2014) suggested that Zhao Yuanrenused domestication to attract children, his targeted readers. Wu Feng [伍锋] and Yang Yuyang [杨渝阳] (2014) agreed that ZhaoYuanren sacrificed faithfulness in meaning for faithfulness in writing style toconvince readers and overcome cultural and language obstacles.However, with their statistical analysis, ShiSi [施思] and Zhang Yuejun [张跃军] (2013) held a divergentview that although domestication was held essential, foreignization was stillheld as a supplement in Zhao Yuanren#8217;s translation. Similarly, Hu Bo [胡波] (2012) was of theopinion that Zhao Yuanren used multiple translation methods based on histhorough understanding of the original text.

ShiSi [施思] (2014) suggested thatalthough Alice#8217;s Adventures in Wonderlandhad many rhetorical devices, e.g. assonance, puns, and acrostic, which wasdifficult to translate, Zhao Yuanren creatively translated these word games toreproduce the taste and artistic characteristics of the original text. PanYuqin [潘玉琴] (2017) held a moreconcrete view that to maintain the original flavor of the original book, ZhaoYuanren used replacement, transfer, addition, etc. Yang Ping [杨平] (2013) held the samebelief that Zhao Yuanren creatively translated puns and assonance to reproducethe equal effect. Nevertheless, this paper disagrees with some of theseviews, and points out the demerits of Zhao#8217;s translation, parts of which ishighly praised by scholars. This paper presents Zhao Yuanren#8217;s translationstyle and features by analyzing his translation methods and appreciating hisgreat translation.
