On the Hybridity in Lin Taiyi's Translation of Flowers in the Mirror

With Homi Bhabha's theory of hybridity as the theoretic perspective,this paper discusses the characteristics of hybridity in Ms.Lin Taiyi's translation of Flowers in the Mirror in three aspects,namely,linguistic hybridity,cultural hybridity and literary hybridity.The author argues that hybridity in Lin's version,as an efficient way adopted by the diasporic translator to expound her home culture,forms a Third Space.In this space,the translator with the diasporic Chinese group that she represents becomes visible in the translation and realizes an equal dialogue and communication between the source culture and the target culture.
