摘要

从20世纪70年代，翻译中如何选择翻译策略渐成为翻译界广泛争论和探讨的问题。

在翻译的反复实践中，归化和异化相互融合，没有界限，杂合化现象渐渐普遍出现，引起了各大翻译学者的关注。

归化和异化各有千秋，在翻译实践中应该合理协调合作，发挥各自优点，促进目标读者对异国文化的理解。

本论文通过分析研究《浮生六记》，《飘》以及《名利场》等文学译本中具有突出杂合化翻译特色的句子，肯定了归异结合的翻译方式，及归化、异化、杂合化三者相辅相成的原则。

同时从范例和分析中也发现了杂合化趋势的必然性。

本研究有助于全面认识归化和异化，有助于英汉民族语言文化交流，对英汉语翻译和英汉跨文化交际具有一定的理论意义和实践意义。
