Doing Things with Translation is one of the most important concepts inEco-translatology, which indicates two meanings: one is that the translated works canbe used to do things (emphasizing the objective effect); the other is that the translatorcan do things through translation activities (focusing on the translator’s subjectiveintent/initiative). By involving in this creative activity—translation as central roles,translators can achieve their specific aims in a lot of “things”, which means that the“Do” in “Doing Things with Translation” can be displayed in various aspects. Theymay translate for language innovation, social communication, cultural advancement,social reform, accumulation of civilization, or for their personal achievement on theroad of translation. In retrospect to Ren Rongrong’s translation career, it can be foundthat his commitment to the translation of children literature reflects his pursuit of“Doing Things with Translation”.At first, Ren Rongrong’s original intention for translating foreign children’sliterature is to solve China’s problem of lacking children’s books, and to provideChina’s children reader with more readable children’s literature. During the time whenRen Rongrong just began his journey on the road of TCL, the literary world in Chinawas still adult-oriented and literature works created exclusively for children were lessseen in the book market. Until “May 4th” period, things started to change and thewriters’ consciousness of children’s literature was truly awakened. However,problems caused by the shortage of children’s books remained to be unsolved. Tofurther weaken the negative influence exerted by those thorny problems, RenRongrong, together with other children’s literature writers, endeavored to createChina’s own children’s books as well as import classic international children’sliterature. Ren’s contribution has brought many lovely characters like Pinocchio fromforeign children’s literature to the Chinese children’s heart from generation togeneration, and even when they grow up, the joyfulness they once experienced fromstaying with those colorful characters are always kept preciously in their memory.Rongrong once said: “I love children’s literature, and the love is an extension of myaffection for literature. Children’s literature is a member of literature family and anewly emerged but important part of large literature, which is also the production ofpublic’s emphasis on children’s development. Despite its short history, children’sliterature will have boundless prospects. I always consider children’s literature as aburgeoning type of literature. Just because children’s literature has a short history andthere are few classic children’s literature works seen in the book market, the quality ofwhich cannot reach the high level of large literature, some people belittle children’sliterature. However, I believe in the future with great writers’ persistent endeavor,great contemporary children’s literature works will come out.” （我爱儿童文学，是我爱文学的延续。儿童文学是文学，是大文学的一个重要组成部分，又是一个新兴的组成部分，是重视儿童以后发展起来的，历史很短，但前途无量。我一向称儿童文学为新兴的文学。正因为历史短，古典儿童文学数量有限，且质量也很难与大文学比拟，有人把儿童文学看做“小儿科”，看不上眼，可能与此有关。但儿童文学的大作品将陆续出现，出现在未来，这就需要有大作家出现。）[Yin Jianling, 2011:2] Ren Rongrong also started his career as achildren’s lite本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
