摘　　要：《三国演义》作为中国古代四大名著中最早成书及最早出现英译文献的古典小说,其英译与传播研究对中华文化对外传播交流有着重要意义。1905年,英国汉学家斯蒂尔出版的《舌战》让《三国演义》英译文献流布进入单行本时代。然而长久以来,斯蒂尔其人其作相关研究暂付阙如。文章借用布迪厄的社会实践理论,广泛搜集第一手英文文献,以斯蒂尔《舌战》英译活动为起点,从其来华背景、译本特色和译本传播与流布等方面,深入探讨《舌战》的英译与传播对中华文化国际传播的启示,发掘斯蒂尔英译《三国演义》的价值。斯蒂尔《舌战》译本语言简洁明了,凸显中国文化异质性;译者还刊登广告、发表书评,积极推动提升英译与传播效果。然而译作在西方的流布较为零散,这受到该作品的节译形态、译者惯习和社会资本影响。The study of the English translation and circulation of San Guo Yan Yi(Romance of the Three Kingdoms),the earliest of the Four Great Classical Novels to be written and translated into English,is of great significance to the international transmission of Chinese culture.The British sinologist Steele’s The Logomachy,published in 1905,brought the English translation of San Guo Yan Yi into the era of single-volume editions.For a long time,there have been few studies on Steele and his translation works.Aiming to fill the research gap and discover the value of Steele’s works,and using Bourdieu’s theory of social practice,this study extensively collects first-hand English literature,and examines the impact of Steele’s The Logomachy and its circulation on the international transmission of Chinese culture,focusing on the background of Steele’s arrival in China,the features and dissemination of his translation.The language of Steele’s translation is concise and clear,highlighting the heterogeneity of Chinese culture;advertisements and reviews of the book were also published,actively promoting the translation and circulation of the novel.However,the dissemination of the translation version in the West is more sporadic,which is influenced by the abridgment of the works,the translator’s habits,and social capital.
