5、tuations of the research Many Chinese scholars began to research the series of Harry Potter from a best-seller to a cultural phenomenon and literary genre during the past decade.They started to study the protptype of the magic world,the religious meaning in these books and the translation of it etc.

6、Among these scholars,Yan Yumin and Zhu Botong believes that Harry Potters characters, objects, numbers are all showed the long history in application of the symbolism in UK fiction .Cai Bingxia hold that in J.K.

8、ned works.The author is weaving a new myth of an ancient myth.The conception of foreignization and domestication firstly introduced by Nida and Venuti.The former one is advocating foreignization while the other one is supporting domestication.Foreignization means a ethnodeviant pressure on those (cu

9、ltural)values to register the linguistic and cutueal difference of the foreign text,sending the reading aboard.Domestication means an ethnocentric reduction of the foreign tenxt to target-language cultueal values,bring the values back home.Over the past decade in discussion of foreignization and dom

10、estication is based on a paper which published on Modern Foreign Language in 1987.However the articles author may unexpected that the new pair of theoretical context would be widely discussed around the world.Western scholars believes that the foreignization and domestication is not complimentary bu

11、t mutually exclusive. The debate between foreignization and domestication had already exist since there has Translation.In the last century around the Lu xuns idea there started a debation between the two conceptions.Before it ,Yan Fu,Lin Shu,and Liang Qichao are all belonged to the domestication.Lu

12、 Xuns thought of translation was aimed to oppose the feudalism and transfer the national character.However,Lu Xuns theory had been misunderstanded,and eventually disappearded in the end.But in the latest discussions of translation method,scholars nearly all supported to the foreignization.The foreig

15、nied,has played a decisive role in the history of world literature. In the past decade,the Chinese scholars has also studied it from different aspects and has made some good progress on it.But after studying thses resurches ,I found few people to analyze the names and translations of characters in H

16、arry Potter from a cultural point of view. Thus,I hold that there still have plenty of spaces to study nomenclature and translation of Harry Potter from a cultural perspective view.The basis of the research are as follows:(1)Methods and cutural connotations of namesPersons name in literary works, a

17、very important element, often vividly reflects the author s creation intention and the appropriate translation of these names plays an important role in the translated text. Therefore there exists a statement that the translation of the person s name is more difficult than that of the text in transl

18、ation circle. Research on the cultural connotation of persons name in literary works and its translation is of great importance to improve the readability of translation version and cultural exchange.Through the study of the naming for the characters in Harry Potter,we will have a general idea about

19、 the metods to name the characters in western countries and the cultural connotations behind these names will show the important civilization that inflence the western literature,such as the Greek and Roman mythology.(2)Foreignization and DomesticationIn todays China there still exist many debates o

20、n domestication and foreignization .The scholars who applaud the foreignization include Lu xun,Liu yingkai,Sun zhili,Liu yanli,and Yang zijian etc.Among these intellectuals,Sun zhili also made such prediction in the twenty-first century,the literary translation will dominated by foreignization.Howev

21、er,the misunderstanding of domestication and foreignization of translation is still exist in China.Threfore,scholars, especially those in the field of translation studies, should make a deeper study of them.Some scholars hold that from the perspective of culture and the translation context in China,

22、the domestication should be adopted by Chinese translators in E/C or C/E translation in the present context of globalization.In this paper,foreignization and domestication will be used to analyze the names in the seires of Harry Potter and through the comparision of the edition of the mainland ,Tai

23、Wang and Hong Kong to find which one is the best . Threfore,we can reach the conclusion that in the English novels about the translation of the names which one is more betterforeignization or the domestication.Objectives of the thesis The proposal is made for such several purposes as follows;Methods

24、 of naming the characters in Harry Potter.Discuss the connotations behind these names.Intrudoction of the translation methods of foreignization and domestication.Use the foreignization and domestication to analyze the translation of the names in Harry Potter.Significances of the thesis Significances

25、 of thses proposals can be great.To master the methods of named charcters in English novels can make a better understanding of foreign novels.Study the connotations behind the names can give a deepper understanding of western cutural.To master the translation methodsforeignization and domestication

26、can made us more clearer about the newly translation methods,and which will very helpful to the future study.Outline 1 Introduction 2 A Brief Introduction to Harry Potter 2.1 The Content of Harry Potter 2.2 The Achievements Have Been Made of Harry Potter 3 Functions of Names in Novels 3.1 Examples i

27、n Other Famous Novels 3.2 Methods to Name a Character 3.3 Examples in Harry Potter 4 Connotations Behind Novels 小说中的内涵：既然本文主要讲的是哈里波特这部小说，建议本章重点分析这部小说中的内涵意义，正如在前面提到的一样，可以从人物命名，法术命名等角度来分析名称后面蕴含的文化内涵，宗教内涵等，这需要写作者对UK文化、历史、社会等各方面有深入的理解。 4.1 Examples in Other Famous Novels 4.2 Examples in Harry Potter 5 T

28、ranslations the Names in Series of Harry Potter 5.1 Brief Introduction of Foreignizastion and Domestication 建议放在第一章。第一章不仅是对本小说的介绍，也可以将文章的理论基础涵盖进去，否则在读到第五章的时候突然出现，给人感觉很不自然。 5.2 Compare Translations of Names in Different Editions 既然是比较不同版本中名称的翻译，可以举例说明或进行对比。 5.3 Get a Conclusion of Translation Methods

29、此节应当是分析不同翻译方法的优劣（归化和异化），此节标题建议做修改。 6 Conclusion 7 Acknowledgements 8 Bibliography 总体来说，从本文的结构大纲上看，文章的结构还是可接受的。但分析的内容不购多，不详细，这个题目较大，对本科毕业论文来说有相当大的难度，很难把握。如：从文章的题目看，需要对小说中的法术名称进行分析，分析其宗教、历史、文化等内涵，并在不同译本和同一译者的前后译本间做比较，需写作者进行大量阅读，举例，并重在分析过程。作为论文，一定要有论点。本文的论点不是很清晰，不知写作者到底是支持归化或是异化的翻译手法，或是提出自己的观点。总之，论文要观点
