Abstract Professor Hu Gengshen firstly applied Darwin’s “natural selection” and “survival of the fittest” principles in translation。 Later, Professor Hu further put forward eco-translatology which  considers “Translation as adaptation and selection”。 The theory stresses the link between translators and transnational eco-environment。 The thesis is to compare the two Chinese versions of The Great Gatsby respectively translated by Wu Ningkun and Yao Naiqiang for their different experiences。 Through the comparison of the two versions, the transformation of ecological environment as well as its influences on translation activity can be easily seen。 Through thorough study on a great number of cases chosen from the two versions, it can be revealed that the two translators adopt different translation methods to reproduce the original ecological environment from three dimensions。 Additionally, the technicality as well as the practicability of translation has been achieved in the two versions。 The thesis is intended to draw more academic attention to the function of eco-translatology in the novel translation。  76023

摘要在翻译领域，胡庚申教授运用了达尔文的“进化论”的原理，并在此基础上于2008年提出了生态翻译这一理论，为翻译研究提供了新视角。这一理论把翻译适应选择论作为核心，突出译者和翻译生态环境之间的关系。本文拟运用生态翻译学理论对《伟大的盖茨比》的两个中译本（巫宁坤与姚乃强译本）进行研究探索。经过深入对比分析，发现翻译生态环境的变化及其对翻译活动的影响。通过语言维、文化维和交际维的对比研究可以发现，巫、姚两位译者分别运用了异化、归化等翻译策略做出了适应性选择，而直译、意译、增译、省略等具体翻译技巧的灵活运用，最大限度地再现了原文生态，实现了优质的翻译输出，更体现了翻译的技巧性与实用性。希望本文对生态翻译学在小说翻译领域的研究能够起到抛砖引玉之效。

1。 Introduction 

The essence of literary translation roots in its aesthetic creation。 Literary translation, a special form of art creation, derives from translators’ study and artistic awareness of the original work。 Eco-translatology introduces the translation into the ecological system and takes different dimensions of translation into account。 A series of applied theories were also put forward。 The Great Gatsby is written by F。 Scott Fitzgerald, an American expert in chronicle and Poet Laureate of the 19th century。 It is acknowledged as an emblem of Jazz Age in American literature。 Since its advent, it has always been one of the America’s most popular novels。 At present, there appear several Chinese versions of The Great Gatsby。 While there are many scholars who study and analyze different versions of The Great Gatsby from various perspectives, few of them have studied from eco-translatology。 This thesis will take the two versions by Wu Ningkun and Yao Naiqiang as the study object to conduct a comparative study from this point。 All the thesis has four sections。 Part One mainly presents the thesis, the methodology,the outline and its meaning。 Part Two is a literature review, which introduces the evolution of eco-translatology and some of its basic definition。 Part Three analyzes the examples selected from two versions comparatively。 Finally, a conclusion ends。 The thesis aims to explore how Wu Ningkun and Yao Naiqiang make adaptation and selection respectively in their translational eco-environment。 By comparison, the thesis attempts to analyze how the two versions achieve the original effect from linguistic dimension, cultural dimension and communicative dimension。文献综述
