摘  要

 如何翻译中国古诗，正确传达诗中的文化现象并使之容易被英语读者接受，一直是翻译家们所关心的问题。接受理论的提出使文学理论研究的焦点转向读者，为翻译研究提供了一个新的视角。本文试图从接受理论角度探讨其对中国古诗翻译的启示。
 本文从语法，意象，意境三个角度分析了由语言和文化差异引起的中诗英译的障碍，并根据目的语读者的接受提出了解决这些问题的策略和建议。最后本文指出在中诗英译的过程中，译者应根据目的语读者的接受度来采取不同的方法以达到翻译的最终目标，促进文化交流.

ENLIGHTENMENT OF RECEPTION THEORY ON CLASSICAL CHINESE POETRY TRANSLATION
A CASE STUDY OF THE TRANSLATION OF CULTURE-SPECIFIC ELEMENTS
Abstract
 How to translate classical Chinese poetry and deliver the culture it contains properly so as to make it easier to be accepted by the target reader is always a big concern for translators. Since the reception theory was put forward, it has shifted the study focus of literary theory to the role of readers and provided a new perspective to translation studies. In this thesis, the author attempts to shed some light on the translation of classical Chinese poetry by employing reception theory.
 Through analyzing obstacles raised by language and culture differences in the classical Chinese poetry translation from grammatical, image and poetic scene perspectives, the thesis offers some strategies and suggestions to solve these problems according to the target reader’s reception. At last the thesis points out that in the process of translating classical Chinese poems, the translator should adopt different ways according to the target reader’s reception ability so as to achieve the ultimate goal of translation and promote cultural exchange.
Key words: reception theory, classical Chinese poetry, translation, reader, cultural exchange
