Abstract：Since the "Cultural Turn" of translation studies in the 1970s, both the position of translated literature in the culture of target language and the position of translator in intercultural communication have been greatly improved, and researchers have begun to pay more attention to the study of translator's style. 

From the perspective of the translator's subjectivity, this thesis makes a comparison between two Chinese versions of the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, to analyze the differences in translation style between two translators from four levels, i.e. word choice, syntactic pattern, rhetoric devices and discourse structure. In the meantime, factors influencing the translator's translation style are also explored with concrete examples in the thesis.

Keywords:  “Cultural Turn”  translator’s subjectivity  translation styles  influencing factors

中文摘要：20世纪70年代翻译研究“文化转向”以来，翻译文学在译入语文化中的地位和译者在跨文化交际中的地位都得到了很大的提高，研究者对译者的风格研究也开始给予越来越多的关注。

本文以译者主体性为研究角度，对《杀死一只知更鸟》的两个汉译本进行比较分析，从择词、构句、修辞及语篇结构等层面剖析两个译者翻译风格的不同，并以具体实例为佐证，探究翻译中影响译者翻译风格的主要因素。
