Abstract

The theme of this thesis study surrounds Lawerence Venuti’s theory about utilization of domestication in translation, as well as how Lin Shu reflected Venuti’s theory in his translation of Charles Dickens’ novel David Copperfield. The first part of study contains the literature review and the statement. In my statement described my purpose and the importance of making an interrelated research between Venuti and Lin Shu. In case studies I picked up many translation examples in Lin Shu’s Kuai Rou Yu Sheng Shu (塊肉餘生述) to illustrate the reflection of domestication in Lin Shu’s work in details. Finally I gave a brief discussion of how Lin Shu’s utilization of domestication changed readers as well as English-Chinese translation itself.
