摘　　要：儿童文学标题汉译中的"仙"字情结暴露出译者对中西方文化差异、读者对象以及翻译本质的多重误读,反映出译者狭隘的儿童文学观和民族文化心理,有碍于实现翻译跨文化交际的本质诉求,其弊大于利。我们认为,儿童文学的标题翻译应该充分理解原文的精神实质与内涵,在充分理解原文主题及思想的基础上凝练、提高,依实出华,实现其跨文化交流的使命。The appearance of ＂immortal＂ （Xian）, which is not uncommon in the translation of the title of children＇s literature, reflects translators＂ misreading of the differences between Chinese and western cultures, the features of the target audience and the nature of translation. Its drawbacks far outweigh possible benefits for it represents a narrow-minded view toward children＇s literature and protectionist mindset, and may thus hinder cross-cultural communication, which is the essential purpose for any translation activity. It is proposed that in translating the title of a literary work for children, the theme and thoughts of the original should be fully appreciated before the translation of the title is weighed carefully and done with readability. In this way, the cross-cultural mission of translation could be accomplished.
