Abstract
This paper entitles “The Translation and Introduction of Foreign Thought During the Period of Japanese Occupation: An Observation of Lai Ho, Yang Kuei and Jang Wo-Jiun”, and my studying motif is to chase the presentation of translation and introduction of foreign thought by the intellect who had taken the neoteric education overseas or the students abroad during the period of Japanese occupation. The collate of translated pieces from《臺灣》、《臺灣民報》、《?????》、《先發部隊》、《人人》、《臺灣文藝》、《臺灣文學》、《第一線》、《南音》、《臺灣新文學》help us comprehend what’s the real intention in translation. On the other hand, Lai-Ho(賴和) was bracketed with Lu-Shiun(魯迅), we get in touch with this situation under the observation of the trend of Nietzsche from Japan to Taiwan and China. It actually had been four years later when we read the first translation of Nietzsche by Lu-Shiun since Lai-Ho had finished his. Besides, Yang-kuei’s(楊逵)translation is also our focus. What Yang-kuei had endeavored in translation attached to the social movement. He used Taiwanese oral- speaking to translate Marxism economics and gave many examples according to works’ lives to make abstruse theories convincible. Furthermore, though Jang-Wo-Jiun’s(張我軍) translation and publications were found in China, we still have to square up to his special position during the war circumstances. His translation had close communication with Lu-Shiun and Jou-Tzuo-Ren(周作人) that were interested in translating that time in China. Altogether, the translators we’ve mentioned in this paper were found in unobvious reference and they were not investigated for a long time, their marvelous cynosure was to look forward and seek after the unique status of Taiwan in world literature. This paper concentrate on the topic of Translation that was the shortcut of understanding foreign thought, and the glary achievement of their efforts touch and encourage us by marching forward with their dream for Taiwan!
