In 2013, the first Chinese translation of Han Kang's The Vegetarian (素食主义者), translated by Qian Ri (千日), was published by Chongqing Publishing (重庆出版社). Subsequently, in 2021, Sichuan Literature and Art Publishing (四川文艺出版社) re-published the work under the title The Vegetarian (素食者), with the translator changed to Hu Jiao Tong (胡椒筒). The fact that The Vegetarian was re-published within less than a decade after its first translation into Chinese can be considered an unusual occurrence. Up to now, most of the research has focused on the 2013 edition, with only one study comparing the two Chinese translations. This thesis explores the potential for a new approach to translation criticism that goes beyond fidelity and readability by taking the two Chinese translations as its subject. To achieve this, Berman's positive translation criticism theory was first applied to seek alternatives to traditional translation evaluation criteria, and the translation philosophies and positions of the two translators were thoroughly examined. Subsequently, by analyzing how each translator understood and translated the work, the study examined their respective translation strategies and the effects of their translations. Finally, the study reviewed the translators' individual styles by analyzing the issues of paragraph arrangement, sentence structure, and word choice. The comparison of the two translations in this study focuses on revealing the translation philosophies and methods of the two translators rather than on determining which is superior. It emphasizes the importance of not only recognizing the differences between the translations but also analyzing how these differences affect readers.
