“灰阑”是一个流传颇广的故事。以元代李行道的《灰阑记》为比较研究对象,分析英译本对中文本结构形式以及内容上所做的删节,我们发现,将一切分而治之与将万物融合会通的不同世界观正是中国戏剧被英国人接受过程中最难逾越的障碍。 “Grease” is a widely circulated story. Based on the comparative study of the “Greedy Notes” on the roadway of the Yuan Dynasty and the analysis of the English translations of the Chinese texts, we find that the concept of a different world that separates and conquers everything from integrating the things into reality is exactly what China Drama was the most insurmountable barrier to acceptance by the British.
