1 Introduction
Translation serves as an important role in cultural, political and economical communication between the western world and China. There used to be the translation criteria called “faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance” that guided a lot of translators in the process of translating. What translators needed to do was translating the original text word to word in a linguistic aspect and faithfully conveying the meaning of the author. Translators on that occasion would not add their ideas and feelings towards the original masterpiece. So the translator used to be regarded as “conquer” “painter” “matchmaker” “Prometheus” and “translation machine” etc (Tu Guoyuan, Xiao Jinyin, 1998). As the translation has developed, scholars abroad and at home began to pay more attention on translators themselves. With the “cultural turn” turned up in the 1970s, translation theories facing target-language culture emerged, such theories including Polysystem Theory, Manipulation School, Skopos Theory, Deconstructionism and Feminist Translation Theory. The cultural turn was a movement to make contemporary debates focus on culture. And in the field of translation studies, the cultural turn has made translation studies from semantic level to cultural level and has highlighted the translator as the leading role in the process of translation. Those translation theories broke through the fence of source language oriented theories and turned to the target language oriented translation studies (Ji Yu, 2009). Therefore, the “equivalence” translation standard was challenged. The subjectivity of the translator emerged and was gradually discussed in the translation theory of this era. This paper intends to further discuss the translator’s subjectivity and use To the Lighthouse (2006) and its two Chinese versions to specifically show the existence of the translator’s subjectivity and the effect it would cause in the process of translation.
