The recent few years have witnessed a growing number of studies on self-translation. Studies on self-translation in China started late,

Lin Yutang is not only a world-known scholar, litterateur and linguist, but also an outstanding self-translator with extraordinary bilingual competence. Probing into his self-translat

Through an examination of six types of self-translation techniques employed in his self-renditions, namely, annotation, substitution, concretization, motification, paraphra

12、晚，对自译者的研究是其中重要一局部，如林语堂，张爱玲，萧乾等。林语堂不仅是著名的学者，文学家，语言学家，还是一位杰出的自译家，具备卓越的双语能力。研究林语堂的自译作品，有助于加深对自译现象的理解，提升翻译水平。本文是对林语堂作品自译策略的描述性研究，对他的自译作品进行文本细读与分析。文中19个例证选自小评论：林语堂双语文集中的12篇译文，具有较强的代表性。本文通过对林语堂自译实践所采用的六种具体翻译方法的考察，即加注，替换，具体化，改译，意译，音译分析归纳出他的自译策略及其倾向，以及影响他自译策略选择的因素。通过研究，得出以下结论：林语堂在自译过程中运用了归化和异化的策略，并表达出归化占主导的
