本文研究的是南非作家库切作品中译名的得失问题。采用的研究方法是对其已有作品的中国大陆译本译名、台湾中译本译名，以及德语译本译名进行对比分析，以作品的内质为依据，以原作名和原作精神的统一性为标杆，探讨诸译名是否最大程度上维护了这种统一性。本文在批判性分析的同时提出了自己的观点。

This paper is a study on Chinese translations of the titles of J. M. Coetzee’s works. The method adopted is a comparative analysis of the translated titles of the Mainland Chinese version, the Taiwanese version (if available) and the German version (if available) of the respective works. The analysis is based on the principle that the spiritual unity between the content of the work and its title shall be kept intact in the translating process. The conclusion is that the problems with the Mainland Chinese versions’ title translations are that the translators lack deep understanding of the essence of the original works and that they tend to belittle the importance of the translation of the title.
