Abstract

It has been a dispute for a long time to translate literary style. Literary style translation would indulge in empty talk in a one-sided or oversimplified view. A writer’s style is decided by the times, the nation and his class, so is that of the translator. Therefore, the factors of the translator, the readers and the historical cultural environment play a crucial role in the translation of literary style.
