赛珍珠译本《水浒传》中的女性角色
<p>《水浒传》是一部充满男权主义的古典小说，而且许多女性角色都是从反面来进行描写，如潘金莲、阎婆惜等放荡角色，而女性英雄们则都被男性化，失去了女性的柔美，单从女英雄的称呼上就能看出，如一丈青扈三娘、母夜叉孙二娘、母大虫顾大嫂。赛珍珠作为女性译者，发挥了译者的主观能动性，在尊重原文意义的基础上，对原文中的女性形象进行了一定程度的改写。</p><p>例1、那清河县里有一个大户人家，有个使女，小名唤作潘金莲，年方二十馀岁，颇有些颜色。因为那个大户要缠他，这使女只是去告主人婆，意下不肯依从。那个大户以此恨记于心，却倒赔些房奁，不要武大一文钱，白白嫁与他。</p><p>赛译：<span
