摘　　要：笛福的《鲁滨孙漂流记》虽然在后殖民批评视野中又一次成为国际学界关注的热点,但对于中国来说,有几个先在的问题:即我们什么时候开始谈论鲁滨孙?谈论什么?汉译鲁滨孙是如何被翻译和改写的?本论文把中国第一个汉译缩写本,沈祖芬译《绝岛漂流记》置于晚清语境中,通过与源文本的对比分析说明,沈译本是把鲁滨孙作为在当时社会同样流行的哥伦布式的英雄,出于"激励少年"的目的翻译塑造的,不仅在主题上删除了原作者的宗教寓意,从情节上,突出了"冒险"经历,对主人公形象更是进行了归化式的改造,从而,在一定程度上改写了原文本渗透的殖民叙述话语、意象和心理,是中西文化理想价值观相互调和的产物,体现了殖民叙述与民族叙述的内在纠结和张力。Although international attention has been paid to Daniel Dafoe＇s Robinson Crusoe again from a post-colonial perspective, Chinese scholars have to face several preexistent questions, namely, when do we begin to talk about Robinson Crusoe？ And what do we talk about？ How has the novel been translated and rewritten into Chinese？ This article examines Shen Zufen＇ s first abbreviated Chinese translation of Robinson Crusoe, Desert Island Tale. Written in late Qing vernacular, Shen＇s Crusoe has been recreated as the then popular Columbus-like hero. With the purpose of inspiring teenagers, Shen erases the religious moralism of the English original and gives prominenceto the adventures in the plot, thereby naturalizes the main protagonist. In this respect, to a considerable degree, the language, intention and psychology of the colonialist narrative that permeate the original text have been rewritten. The Chinese translation is thus an amalgam of Chinese and Western cultural ideals. It reflects the intrinsic synthesis of colonialist and nationalist narratives.
