Abstract

Children's literature is a special type of literary works. Translation of children's literature plays a decisive role in creating children's fantastic spiritual world. When translating children's literature, the translator must take children's special physical and psychological characteristics into consideration and bear in mind that the target readers are children and and the translation should be child-orientated and vivid. This paper aims at analyzing the translation of Tale in Orange and studying how to achieve equivalence between the source text and the target text from the perspective of functional equivalence theory. Through three aspects of equivalence-equivalence in terms of meaning, equivalence in terms of style and equivalence in terms of culture. This paper explores the reasonable strategies for translating children's literature and proves that functional equivalence theory is applicable in guiding the translation of children's literature.
