Analisi comparativa della traduzione di"Una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore" in Cina Continentale e Taiwan

In the long course of mankind history, there are many literati and heroes and the writer Italo Calvino is one of them. He reveals the cruelty of the real society and the discomposure of the modern men through the children’s vision and the imaginary stories. He is a stupendously swift writer and his works are also translated in many languages and published in all of the world, of course, also in China. But it may derive a doubt: Have the translated works conveyed the writers’ intentions correctly? China has a huge territory, that’s why we have so many nations and dialects. Because of that, there are always many versions of translated works and the main parts is in China continent and Taiwan, therefore, what’s the difference between these works? And this paper is focused on the comparation of the translated versions of Se una note d’inverno un viaggiatore di Italo Calvino in China continent and Taiwan from the aspects like translatology, linguistics, pragmatics, culture and history. The translator of China continent is professor Xiao Tianyou meanwhile the Taiwan one is professor Wu Qiancheng. Besides, I also found another version, and actually it’s only a chapter of this book, which was translated by professor Yuan Huaqing. In my paper I will compare these three versions to discuss the similarity and differences of the translation, what’s more I will also give my translation of the first chapter.
