ABSTRACT

In the context of interdisciplinary research, classical narratology plays an i8mportant role in literary translation. To some extent, translation and narration have something in common. The previous studies on Chinese translation of Typical American mostly focused on the perspectives of relevance theory and mythological prototypes, leaving room for in-depth study from narratology. The author takes the Chinese translation of Typical American by Wang Guanglin as the case study object, finding that the implicit transcendence in Typical American can be accurately expressed through the narrative perspective and voice in translation, as well as metalepsis, which greatly improve the quality and fluency of literary translation.
