摘 要：
归化与异化是处理翻译中文化异同的两种策略。而在翻译过程中翻译策略的选择，很多因素会被考虑进去，例如：译者本人的翻译目的，文化态度等主观因素，英语论文题目，抑或是作者所处的时代背景等客观因素。因此，为了探讨一部译作的翻译策略，我们有必要采用历史的措施，这样可以更全面的考虑到其中的主客观因素。
本文拟从翻译的归化与异化，文化背景等多个角度来探讨《边城》英译本的翻译策略且通过简单文本的举例说明，以及从不同的文化异同进行探讨，最终得出结论：戴乃迭《边城》英译本里的文字翻译主要采用了以异化为主，英语论文范文，归化为辅并结合文化因素的翻译策略。同时本文还尝试研讨了戴乃迭选择这种翻译策略的主要原因。
