碩士 === 淡江大學 === 法國語文學系碩士班 === 95 === Raymond Queneau is a contemporary french writer. However, there are only a few of his works were translated in Chinese. His writing style was deeply affected by the surrealism, so that in his novels, we can apparently feel the absurdity and the black humor. What else, the author was devoted to the reform of french. For this reason, he uses plenty of argot, slang and oral french in his work, yet this manner straiten the translation. By addcuing the theory of translation with practice, this thesis has the objective to treat the problems of translating french into chinese. In order to support the demonstration, we introduce at frist the theory "communicative translation" and "semantic translation" of Peter Newmark. Then, by translating two contes, Dino and At the Edge of the Forest, of Queneau, we try combine the theory with practice. Finally, we focus on the problems occured in the process of translating, and to discuss these questions by analysing the words, the phrases and the contexts. In addition, we offer my own propositional version. With the researche of theory, my translation version is based on the method of "semantic translation", but also sustain with "communicative translation". Although the "equivalent-effect" is not easy to reach, for the geographic and cultural distance between French and China, I hope my research and demonstration could offer some possibilities on solving the difficulties of translation.
