摘　　要：Mistranslation has always been received with negative reactions among the translation community for a long time.Post-colonial translation theory forms an intersection with translatology and brings translation studies from linguistics to the hidden factors such as politics,cultures and aesthetics that influence the formation of translations.From the perspective of post-colonial translation theory,this article makes comparisons with intentional mistranslation among the two English versions of Shuo Ren,and analyzes the causes that affect the intentional mistranslation of different translators.In conclusion,translators in strong cultures may misuse intentional mistranslation to“dump”their own culture,political views,or religious beliefs,so as to promote cultural aggression against the colonized or former colonial countries.In addition,domestic translators should adopt appropriate intentional mistranslation to ensure more acceptance and spreading of Chinese culture in the world.
