摘　　要：郝玉青(Anna Holmwood)所译之《射雕英雄传》第一卷A Hero Born开启了中国武侠小说进入英语世界的大门,是中国文学走进英语世界的又一里程碑。小说英译取得成功的关键原因之一是译者采取了创造性翻译的策略。创造性翻译与诸如翻译中的创造性等几个翻译学术语既有联系,更有区别,既包括内容上的操作,更包括形式上的操作。在翻译实践中,译者较好结合了形式创译和内容及语言创译,取得了理想的翻译传播效果。译者采用创造性翻译,既是出于对原作所涉之背景、内容及文体特点之考虑,也是译者自我身份以及中国文学英译的困难使然。A Hero Born, the first volume of Jin Yong’s Legends of the Condor Heroes, translated by Anna Holmwood is another milestone in the translation of Chinese literature, especially wuxia novels, into English. This article argues that the translator has resorted to the strategy of transcreation to make her translation more accessible to the general readership. Transcreation, a concept both related to and different from some important terms in translation studies, consists of operations at the formal as well as content levels. In her translation, Anna Holmwood has ingeniously trans-created both the form and the content and language of the original based on reader’s or market’s needs, achieving an ideal result in cross-cultural communication. Her adoption of the transcreation strategy results from the complicated and huge historical network the original creates, her own identity as an editor, a literary agent and a translator, and the difficulty of making Chinese literary works going global through translation.
