Abstract “Translation strategy” has been a hot topic in the study of translation in the recent years. Generally it can be pided into two categories: domestication and foreignization. In the process of translation, a translator can choose his translation strategy according to specific textual needs, readers and translation purposes. Besides, the choice of translation strategies will have direct effects on the style and intelligibility of the translation. The Border Town is a novella of a well-known Chinese writer Shen Congwen. It is set in a small town called Chatong located in the border of Sichuan Province and Hunan Province in the 1930s. It describes the typical local customs and culture of the western area of Hunan Province and tells the love story of a girl named Cui Cui who ferries people for a living. Yang Xianyi and Dai Naidie are not only a model couple but also world-famous translators whose perfect cooperation is considered as a legend in the field of translation. The Border Town is one of the works they translated together. 43531

摘要“翻译策略”是最近几年翻译研究领域中的热门话题，我们通常所说的翻译策略分为两种，即“归化”和“异化”。在翻译时，译者可以根据具体的文本需求、读者对象以及翻译目的来选择翻译策略。翻译策略的选择会直接影响到译文的风格和可理解度。《边城》是我国著名作家沈从文先生的中篇小说，以20世纪30年代川湘交界的边城小镇茶峒为背景，描绘了湘西地区特有的风土人情和船家少女翠翠的爱情故事。杨宪益、戴乃迭夫妇是闻名中外的翻译大家，他们珠联璧合的合作被视为翻译界的一个传奇，《边城》是他们合译的作品之一。
