在翻譯實踐后，譯者就翻譯的主要作品、翻譯時所遇到的困難，以小論文形式做了總結性陳述。在翻譯時，遇到了三個問題，第一：在遇到一詞多義時，不知道如何選擇正確的詞義，第二：對文章中大量對話，以及環境描寫翻譯不準，第三是翻譯心理活動句子翻譯不準。遇到這些問題時，我會請教我的導師、借助字典等辦法去解決問題。

INTRODUCTION

The novel PAX is written by a famous American woman writer Sara Pennypacker. It mainly focuses on a touching story between a boy named Peter and his fox called Pax, who were separated by the war and then united finally by the missing feeling of each other. The theme of this work is profound and enlightening. 

This translation work selects the first to the fifth chapters of the novel. The first chapter is about Peter being led by his father and forced to go to the forest to set Pax free. Under the harsh realities of the war and the pressure of his father, Peter abandoned the fox and his favorite toy, and then took a French leave with his father despite all the reluctance. The second chapter tells that Peter was sent to his grandfather's house, but he's always missing Pax and worrying about Pax very much. At last he made up his mind to find Pax alone. The third chapter mainly describes the experience of Peter’s living alone outside searching for Pax. The fourth chapter narrates that Peter lost his way in the search of Pax, and encountered many difficulties. However, he insisted on looking for Pax. Chapter five switches the role of narration to the fox, who met another fox in the woods. Though threatened by the fox, Pax still stood his ground, waiting for Peter to find him.

Followed this translation practice, a conclusive article was written to summarize the translator’s work. I encountered some difficulties in translation. Firstly, in case of polysemy, I don't know how to choose the correct meaning of word. Secondly, there is a lot of dialogue in the article, as well as is not allowed. When I encountered these problems, I would consult my tutor and used a dictionary to solve the problem.
