Summary/Abstract: The translation of The Painted Bird in China, though lagged behind due to the social and historical background, has its unique feature from the adoption of translation methods to the rearranging of contents. It can be seen that the Chinese rendering by Wang Zhang follows the doctrine of faithfulness, and in the meantime takes Chinese people’s thinking mode and ideological system into consideration. By the flexible application of the translation methods, Wang Zhang’s rendering fulfils the demand of publication regulations, copes with Chinese people’s thinking habits, and reproduces the war’s destruction to the society and humanity in a neutral perspective.
