摘　　要：中国民族文学作品的国际传播必须注意文化的传递,这对于塑造中华民族形象、突破他人话语体系、提升文化影响力具有重要意义。但由于文化空缺的存在,中国民族文化向外译介面临诸多难点。葛浩文夫妇翻译的阿来小说《尘埃落定》是将民族文化向国际传播的优秀成果,分析其在民族文化传递方面的得失和方法对于提高我国民族文学翻译质量和传播民族文化具有重要的借鉴意义。通过英汉文本比较发现,葛氏夫妇的译本综合采用了音译、直译、意译、形象借用等多种翻译手法,尽量保留了原作的文化意境,但也存在误译现象,扭曲或丢失了一些文化意象。总的来说,译本忠实地再现了川西高原土司制度瓦解时期的社会文化韵味,有效地传递了中国民族文化。Importance should be attached to the transmission of ethnic culture via the international dissemination of Chinese ethnic literature.It is very important for raising the profile of the Chinese nation, breaking through the discourse system of others,and enhancing the influence of Chinese culture.

Overall,the translation faithfully reproduces the social and cultural appeal of the chieftain system in the Western Sichuan Plateau,and effectively transmits Chinese ethnic culture.I. The Specialness of transmitting ethnic culture and Chen＇Ai Luo Ding Chinese ethnic literary works,which take ethnic minority culture as their background and sub-ject matter,present the unique lifestyles,customs,national character and social features of ethnic minorities in China. When translated, the original ethnic features and intent of the author ＇s writing should be retained. However, cultural gaps between the Chinese ethnic culture and the target language culture make an equivalent translation difficult. While Chinese culture is still marginalized within the world cultural system,many communicators adopted a strategy that adapted to the Western discourse system by using omission,modi
