ABSTRACT

In the history of Chinese literature of 20th century, Zhou Zuoren(周作人)is not only a ‘huge’ writer, but also a ‘huge’ translator whose foreign literature translation occupies almost half of his entire literary activities. In this article, I attempt to start the analysis of Zhou Zuoren's foreign literature translation, and try to explore the formation, development and impact of his literary concept from his orientation and practice of translation, as well as the reflection of his literary view of “art-for-life(為人生)” and humanitarian thought in translation. As a conclusion, I believe that it is difficult to measure his literary view by the political standards, the literary concept of life、human nature、humanity are the only standard throughout his translation.
