Abstract:

Being an integral part of Chinese scholarship on Canadian literature in English, the translation of Canadian literature in English was scarce before the Reform and Openingup, got under way in 1980s, grew in full swing in 1990s and thrived in the 21st century. The translation of Canadian literature in English in China exhibits the sociocultural aspects of literary translation. Extratextual factors like sociocultural psychology, literary paradigm and readers'  aesthetic orientation at different times have different requirements for literary translation, thus resulting in translation literature with a variety of patterns and functions.

Key words: Canadian literature in English, literary translation, translation literature
