摘      要：With Adaptation Theory as its theoretical basis, this research makes comparison between Lisa See＇s original version of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Xin Yuanjie＇s Chinese translation based on a self-compiled manual annotation English-Chinese bilingual corpus. It aims at exploring the choice of language and the choice of translation method in the foreign language creation and rootless back-translation of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, discussing whether these choices adapt to the source language or the target language, and finding out the communicative effects they have achieved. The preliminary results show that： the choice of language and the choice of translation method in Foreign Language Creation mainly adapt to the target language to make easier for the target English readers to understand and partly adapt to the source language to keep local flavor; the choice of language and the choice of translation method in rootless back translation mainly adapt to the target language to make the translation authentic, accurate and smooth, and adaption to source language will lead to translationese. This research sheds new light on this special kind of writing and translation.
