中国近代翻译文学的形态演变,绎历了这样一个三部曲:从1840年至1897年为第一阶段,以译述为主;从1898年至1908年为第二阶段,以意译为主;从1909年至1918年为第三阶段,译文仍以意译为主,但直译已经出现,辛亥革命后渐成气候,并在“五四”以后成为翻译界之主流。译述——意译——直译,这就是近代翻译文学形态演变的大致走向。 The evolution of modern Chinese translation literature has gone through such a trilogy as the first stage from 1840 to 1897 and the translation to the main. From 1898 to 1908, From 1909 to 1918 for the third stage, the translation is still mainly based on free speech translation, but literal translation has appeared. It became a climate after the Revolution of 1911 and became the mainstream of the translation community after the May 4th Movement. Translation - free translation - literal translation, which is the evolution of modern literary form of the general trend.
