The translation of Shakespeare’s plays by Fu Guangming has become a phenomenon in the English Chinese translation field in recent years. One of its important contributions is to arouse people’s attention to the complex Western literary and cultural traditions behind Shakespeare’s plays. Take the translation of Hamlet as an example. Its annotations and 52 self-notes of Eliot’s The Waste Land show a high degree of homogeneity reflecting the translator’s accurate grasp of the cultural background of the original work, and Shakespeare is just the poet Eliot respected and cited frequently. The obscurity of The Waste Land and Eliot’s emphasis on “tradition” un-doubtedly challenge our popular understanding of Shakespeare. By means of “re- annotation” such as introduction, Fu interprets the motives of the characters’ behaviors from the era of Shakespeare, deeply explains the Christian cultural background of Shakespeare’s plays, and puts forward different opinions for Hamlet’s “revenge”, which is also the first in the study of Hamlet in China.
