勒菲弗尔的操控理论是一次由重语言形式向文化转向的一个重大变化。英汉语言属于不同的语族,在各自的语言结构上具有很大的差异,英语属于重主语的语言,汉语属于重主题的语言,两种语言在散文语篇的推进模式上具有重大差异。因此,这一理论可为我们在英语散文汉译过程中处理两种语言的主位推进方式上提供策略和方法。 Lefevere’s manipulation theory is a major change from a verbal form to a cultural one. The English and Chinese languages ​​belong to different linguistic groups and have great differences in their respective language structures. English belongs to the main subject language, and Chinese belongs to the heavy subject language. The two languages ​​have significant differences in the promotion mode of the prose discourse. Therefore, this theory can provide strategies and methods for the thematic progression of the two languages ​​in the process of Chinese prose translation.
