摘　　要：《论语》是中国儒学经典的代表作，是中国古代典籍中最早被译成英文并在西方传播的著作之一。《论语》英译研究经历由译本语言微观层面的对比研究向社会文化宏观层面的描述性研究的过渡。本研究在整合改写理论和顺应理论的基础上，以理雅各和威利的译文为主要语料，分析意识形态和诗学对《论语》英译的影响，以及译者在这两种因素的控制下如何做出的选择顺应决策。研究表明：《论语》英译是译者在意识形态和诗学控制下的自主性翻译改写，是译者对译入语多层次语境的选择顺应过程。典籍英译研究在重视翻译的控制性因素的同时，不应忽视译者的主体性研究。The Analects is one of the most recognized Confucian classics and the earliest Chinese classics that have been translated into English and known to the West. The studies of the translation of The Analects have witnessed a transfer from the comparison of the text and language to a wider description of social and cultural contexts. Based on Lefevere＇s theory of rewriting and Verschueren＇s theory of adaptation, this paper analyses Legge and Waley＇s translations of The Analects, then explores the influence of ideology and poetics on the translation. It analyses how translators make adaptive decisions in the manipulation of ideology and poetics. It is proved that the English translation of The Analects is the translators＇ initiative of rewriting the original work, which is a selective and adaptive process in the multi-layered contexts of the target language. The researches on the translation of classics should include both the manipulative factors and translator＇s initiative as well.
