内容简介

19世纪中后期莎士比亚的作品借由翻译走向世界，中国也正是在这时接触到这位作家。莎士比亚最初走入中国缘于国人打开国门，了解世界的愿望。倡导变革的知识分子把莎士比亚看成可以改变僵化传统的载体，希望其可以成为批判社会的利器。而在随后的百余年历史中，莎士比亚总能适时地适应中国的现代文化，可以说莎士比亚影响了中国，中国也重塑了莎士比亚。

《莎士比亚在中国》是一本评论鉴赏类的书，作者是孙艳娜。这本书对莎士比亚和他的作品进行了研究。我尝试翻译这本书的第一章。在这一章节中，作者介绍了莎士比亚在中国的早期的历史，其中包括早期的翻译、早期的制作和评论。通过《莎士比亚在中国》我们可以看到，中国的莎士比亚与中国的政治、传统和社会是紧密交融在一起的。翻译此书的目的和意义就在于向中国读者揭示这种相互交融的、复杂的关系图景。

INTRODUCTION

In the middle of nineteenth Century, Shakespeare's works were translated into the world, and China was also in contact with the writer. Shakespeare first entered China due to the fact that Chinese people open the door and want to understand the world. The intellectuals who advocate reform view Shakespeare as medium which can change the rigid tradition, and hope that it can become a weapon to criticize the community. In the subsequent hundred years of history, Shakespeare has always been able to adapt to China's modern culture in a timely manner, and it can be said that Shakespeare influenced China and China also reshape the Shakespeare.

Shakespeare in China is a review book and written by Dr. Yanna Sun. In this book, the writer talks about Shakespeare and his works. My task is to translate Chapter One of this book into correct Chinese. In this chapter, the writer introduces the early history of Shakespeare in China including early translations, early productions and comments. Through Shakespeare in China we can see that Chinese Shakespeare, China politics, Chinese tradition and Chinese society are closely linked together. The purpose and significance of the translation of this book is to reveal the complex relationship which is mentioned above.
