摘　　要：改写与压抑是殖民语境下中西经典互译本的重要特征。登特-杨《水浒传》英译本是后殖民语境下的产物,然而改写与压抑的特征仍然十分突出。这种现象的背后隐藏了什么?被隐藏的东西对中国经典英译产生了怎样的作用?什么样的翻译策略与方法能够提升中国经典英译的文化传播价值?针对这些问题,本文从后殖民语境的视角出发,通过婚嫁、丧葬、节令、迷信和刑罚五类风俗的个案举证,分析了登特-杨《水浒传》英译本对中国古代风俗的转换方式,剖析了转换方式体现出的翻译策略,揭示了文本翻译与文化体系的权力关系,提出了中国经典英译文化传播的新理念、新模式和新途径。Rewriting and suppression are two typical features in Chinese-English classics translation in the context of post-colonialism. A product in post-colonial era, Dent-Young＇s version of Shuihu Zhuan does share the same features mentioned above. What does this phenomenon indicate？ What has been hidden beyond it？ What is the influence exerted in Chinese-English classics translation？ What kinds of strategies and methods should be adopted in Chinese-English classics translation to promote Chinese culture？ Based on the post-colonial theory, this paper attempts to analyze the transfer of ancient Chinese social conventions in Dent-Young＇s version. Examples related to marriage, funeral, festival ceremonies, superstition and penalties are presented to reveal the translation strategies thus shed light to the power interaction between text translation and culture systems and provide possible options such as new ideas, models and approaches to highlight and spread Chinese culture in Chinese classics efficiently.
