1. Introduction
As a significant form of words, reduplicated words can be found in various types of writing, especially in colloquial and literary works. When reduplicated words appear in a certain literary work, they not only achieve the function of expressing meanings, but also the function of suggesting the author’s emotional inclination. Therefore, the author’s unique literary style in language can be fully represented through the use of reduplicated words.
Due to difference between Chinese and English and cultural gap, when translating Chinese reduplicated words into English, it is almost entirely impossible to maintain all the aspects of the reduplicated words, including their meanings and characteristics. Many meaningful achievements on reduplicated words have been made by many linguists in the field of linguistics. However, fewer periodicals and theses focused on the translation strategies and techniques during the process of translating Chinese reduplicated words. Besides, these researches are often not scattered, not connecting some theories, which calls for the need of such kind of study.
Based on the above remarks, this thesis aims to study the C-E translation of reduplicated words in Wandering under the guidance of the Skopos theory. Skopos theory, the essence of German functionalist theory, contains three rules: skopos rule, coherence rule and fidelity rule. Wandering is a short novel collection written by Lu Xun containing 11 short novels: The New-Year Sacrifice, In The Tavern, A Happy Family, Soap, The Lamp That Was Kept Alight, A Public Example, Master Gao, The Misanthrope, Regret for the Past, Brothers and The Divorce.
