ABSTRACT

Grounded in reader-centered theories, Reception Aesthetics prioritizes the active engagement and acceptance of target readers. This study examines the translation of children’s literature through the lens of Reception Aesthetics, using Li Wenjun’s rendition of The Secret Garden as a case study. The objective is to scrutinize various aspects of the translation—including vocabulary, syntax, rhetorical devices, and cultural nuances—and to discern how the adaptation and application of diverse translation strategies cater to the aesthetic expectations.
