Influence of Situational Context on Literary Translation Abstract: Context refers to the environment in which language is used, which plays an important role in meaning determination in communicating. Context study has gradually aroused the concern of linguists, philosophers, even psychologists since the term “context” was put forward by the great Polish-born anthropologist B.Malinowski in 1923. On the basis of the study of context at home and abroad, this thesis induces the information relevant to the context by using the systematic method. In the first place, the paper summarizes some famous studies of context home and abroad and different opinions on the classification of context. Then, it focuses on the function and influence of the situational context on literary translation by using abundant examples. This paper is just a superficial exploration on the influence of context on literary translation. It tries to enhance translators’ attention to contextual factors, especially obscure contextual factors in translating, thus reducing mistranslation or avoiding “translationese” in translation practice.
