从目的论角度评析《哈克贝利·芬历险记》的三种不同中文译本硕士论文 Translating is a purposeful activity. The prime principle determining any translation process is the purpose skopos of the overall translational action.

Therefore, an evaluation of the three translations must take into account the intended purposes of the translations and their respective social, historical and cultural backgroundFirst a brief introduction is shown to the research background, the structure of the thesis, the research method and the significance of the thesis. Then comes the literature review. Brief introductions of Skopos Theory and The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn are made, and then related studies on them are shown.
