Under the framework of preliminary norms and initial norms, factors influenced the selection of source text are discussed. Giles translates the book in order to help western missionaries learn Chinese and Chinese culture, while Wang Baotongrsquo;s translation is the outcome of his interest in poetry translation and the current hot tides of learning Chinese in the world. Then, reasons are found about Gilesrsquo; adequate translation strategy and Wangrsquo;s acceptable strategy. According to operational norms, the tendency of Gilesrsquo; literal translation and Wangrsquo;s liberal translation is observed at following aspects, which are translation of phrases, translation of historical stories and reproduction of Rhyme. 　　Key words: comparison, The Three-Character Classic, preliminary norms, initial norms, operational norms 　　摘 要：本文在图里的翻译规范下对比分析翟理斯和王宝童两人的《三字经》英译本。在预备规范和初始规范下，分析影响翟理斯和王宝童把《三字经》作为翻译对象的因素，以及两位翻译家各自在翻译时对相关翻译策略偏好。得出翟理斯主要是为了给当时的西方传教士提供学习汉语的资料而翻译；王宝童则是因为自身对诗歌翻译的喜爱和当今世界学汉语热而翻译《三字经》。翟理斯倾向于充足性的翻译；王宝童倾向于可接受性的翻译。在操作规范下，对比两本译作对《三字经》原文中专有名词、历史典故和韵律等方面的翻译处理方式，得出翟理斯倾向直译，而王宝童倾向意译。 　　关键词：对比分析； 《三字经》； 预备规范； 初始规范； 操作规范 　　1.Introduction 　　Gideon Toury is an Israeli scholar in Tel Aviv University.
