The objective of this study is to present this author’s translation of the book Man and Boy, written by Tony Parsons, to discuss the techniques used in translating the book, and to explore some possible elements to form “good translation.” The thesis consists of six chapters. The first chapter introduces the author’s research motivations and goals. The second chapter introduces the book Man and Boy, its author Tony Parsons, and provides a brief book review. The third chapter describes the author’s translation plans, including the preparation before translation, the comprehension and interpretation process, and the translation principles and strategies. The fourth chapter is the Chinese translation of Man and Boy from page one to page one hundred. The fifth chapter organizes the skills and theories applied during the translation of Man and Boy and offers a comparison between the author’s translation and the formally published Chinese version by Mr. Chen, Liang-xi. The concluding chapter, chapter six, provides some opinions and suggestions based on the author’s studies and offers a proper definition of “good translation.” It is hoped that the ideas and strategies introduced in this study could provide a chance for translators to think about the purpose of translation and to understand the needs of the target readers so that the readability and equality of translation works could be further improved.
