摘　　要：二十世纪初中文报刊连载翻译小说多数作译者身份不明,单凭报刊刊登的翻译作品信息,难以判断它们是真正意义上的翻译。发行于香港地区和广州的期刊《中外小说林》刊载了若干名为“翻译”的小说文本,但这些小说的文本特征在多方面背离了翻译作品常规特点。1907—1908年发表在该刊物的《毒刀案》,看似是一篇“翻译”侦探小说,却呈现出以下特点:第一,小说缺乏确实存在的原文来源;第二,文本沿用中文传统小说形式;第三,侦探破案模式不同于彼时西方常规侦探小说模式,不含显著科学元素。多个证据表明,该小说应为伪译。同时,研究发现,伪译者在小说中穿插了外国文化指涉,使其更好地满足彼时中国期刊读者的期待。The majority of the serialized fiction translation in the early twentieth-century Chinese newspapers and periodicals were lacking for a clear identification of authors or translators.One can hardly conclude that they were real translation only via the information given by those newspapers and periodicals.The periodical Chinese and Foreign Stories circulated in Hong Kong and Guangzhou published several"translated"fiction texts.However,these fictions manifested textual features deviating from normal translated texts in many aspects.Dudao An,published in this periodical from 1907 to 1908,seemingly a translated detective fiction,betrayed the features as follows:first,it lacked an existing original;second,it kept the form of classical Chinese fiction;third,its detecting mode contained no significant scientific elements,which was dissimilar to the conventional Western detective fiction then.These multiple evidence shows that Dudao An should be pseudo-translation.Meanwhile,the research reveals that the pseudo-translator interpolated into the fiction text foreign cultural references so as to meet the Chinese periodical readers'expectations of that time.
