从功能对等角度看水浒传人物绰号翻译中的文化意象传递
《水浒传》的英语译作数量不多。本文所做比较分析的是至今较权威的三个汉译英版本。其一是美国女作家赛珍珠(Pearl S. Buck)的70回英译本《All Men Are Brothers》；其二是英国杰克逊(J. H. Jackson)的70回英译本《Water Margin》；其三是沙博里(Sidney Shapiro)的百回全译本《Outlaws of the Marsh》，它被认为是目前最具权威，译文最为准确的版本。
本文将书中人物绰号分为性格类、传说类、特长类、外貌类、动物类、身份类吹冰类，从翻译理论中的功能对等这一角度，对人物绰号翻译中的文化意象传递效果进行分析，发现由于不同国家之间的文化存在差异，国外译者对书中人物绰号的文化意象理解程度也不尽相同。本文旨在通过对比分析并结合功能对等理论四大原则，对不同译者的翻译风格以及人物绰号的文化意象有较为深刻的了解。
