摘要本论文旨在研究翻译对文学翻译的影响，特别是在翻译选择策略方面，比较研究乔治·奥威尔《1984》的两本中文译本。原著的作品自出版以来受到广泛的政治讽刺关注，董乐山和刘绍明的翻译在读者中受到广泛的欢迎。

通过比较两个中文译本的一些例子，笔者发现翻译伦理反映在两个翻译中：翻译者都体现出了忠诚的职业道德，以及跨文化的责任和对跨文化交际的贡献。同时，由于在不同的社会文化背景，他们的个人伦理不同。董先生表现出保守和有严谨的翻译方式，追求严格保真的原则，而刘先生的翻译风格具有创造性和灵活性，追求翻译的文学和流畅性。通过研究两种翻译中使用的不同翻译策略，并结合上述研究结果，可以得出以下结论：译者的语言文化知识决定了翻译策略的选取，职业精神对翻译过程中实际选词造句的调整有很大的影响；翻译应用不同的翻译策略时，需要采用各种方法来实现具体的策略。希望这一研究将激发翻译伦理在文学翻译实践中的应用，也有助于文学翻译研究。
