1 1983 Aufführung von Yi jiu ba si =一九八四 = Nineteen eighty four : a novel von George Orwell durch das Luofuguo jiao yu xue yuan xue sheng hui zhou nian xi ju = Northcote College of Education Students' Association in Hong Kong.
2 1984 [Orwell, George]. 1984. = Yi jiu ba si. Liu Shaoming [Joseph S.M. Lau] yi [ID D21368].
Lau recognizes in the preface the fact that Nineteen eighty-four is not a groundbreaking work by artistic standards and one ought not read it as a work by Flaubert or by Henry James. Therefore, this might have given the translator more freedom to explore the resources of the target language to a further extent, because there seems no strong obligation to represent the author's language style accurately in the translation.
Lau's approach is liberal as it hosts more variations in language and introduces highly idiomatic Chinese expressions. The language of Lau's version varied unreasonably from point to point throughout the story regardless of the language of the original at the respective points. After reviewing Lau's general beliefs, it is obvious that the translator as reader considers more important the political elements present in the novel. Towards the end of the preface, he clearly states that he has very high opinion of Orwell's way of producing such terror as the world of Oceania and strongly recommends the novel. Lau seems eager to allow his shadow to be present in the translation because he has his own considerations as a literary writer of Chinese.
3 1985 [Orwell, George]. Yi jiu ba si. Dong Leshan yi. [ID D31725].
Dong remarks in his preface that the novel is a truthful warning to mankind. But the judging criteria vary from writer to writer, from critic to critic, and from translator to translator. Dong's version is a conservative one in that it adopts familiar expressions in Chinese, which can be found in a translating dictionary, to render those in the original. Dong's translation is in general a truthful representation of the original in terms of language and style. The need of extra localization may not a priority at all for Dong. He clearly states in the preface, that Orwell had written the novel to warn us of the unimaginably terrible outcome of totalitarianism if we were ever so ignorant as to let a tyrant ascend to such powers.
4 2002 Erstaufführung von Animal farm von George Orwell durch das Experimentiertheater der Zhong yang xi ju xue yuan = Central Academy of Drama in Beijing, 15 Nov.-19 Dec. 2002 ; unter der Regie von Shang Chengjun.
Animal Farm's original English text is banned in China, but the promoters believe the play should be legal, because bookstores can sell a censored Chinese version. China's Ministry of Culture gave permission for the production to take place.
[Orwell, George. Animal farm : a fairy story. (London : Secker & Warburg, 1945)].
