Chapter one Introduction 

Translation is a complex activity with a long history. It can be traced back to the beginning of human social activities and make great contributions to the achievement of communication between different cultures and the development of society. As the conductor,  the  translator  should  have  gotten an  important  position,  however  they  are always hidden in translation for many complicated reasons. Even so, we cannot erase the  various  “trace”  which  left  by  translators  in  the  process  of  translation.  Especially for  literary  translation,  the  translator’s  subjectivity  plays  a  more  active  role. “Translation  is  always  a  creative  treason”,  Escarpit  said.  It  really  gets  the  point  of literary  translation.  “Translation  is  creative  because  it  gives  the  work  a  new  look. Through the new version it can communicate with more readers; it also prolongs the life of the work and gives it birth a second time.”（Escarpit，1987:137）Translator's subjectivity in literary translation has a special research value, because the exchange, collision  and  deformation  of  different  cultures  are  particularly  obvious  and  are accumulated  greatly  in  this  activity.  With  “Cultural  Turn”  in  west,  a  great  deal  of scholars  have  started  to  focus  on  the  translator's  subjectivity  and  generate  a  lot  of research fruits including the appearance of feminist approach, structuralism approach, hermeneutics approach, post-colonialism approach and others. This paper attempts to explain  and  discuss  the  influence  and  reflection  of  the  translator's  subjectivity  at  all levels  in  the  process  of  translation  from  the  perspective  of  modern  hermeneutics  by analyzing the English version of To Live. The paper will help to understand the nature of  translation,  and  shed  light  on  the  translator’s  reasonable  status.  Moreover  it  is anticipated  that  translators  can  play  a  positive  role  in  translation  and  translate  more outstanding works which prompts the Chinese contemporary literature “going out” to achieve the purpose of cultural exchange.

1.1 Research Background 
Many language problems appearing in translation in reality are cultural issues in some  cases.  Literary  translation  is  more  than  a  simple  language  conversion  whose selection,  mode  of  translation,  translation  strategies,  style,  so  as  rhythm  will  be subject to poetics and personal ideology.
