本文比较了三部汉语小说（集）的母语英译者（即母语为英语）与非母语英译者（本文指母语为汉语）的副形搭配使用特征，发现以下系统性差异：一、从总体数量上来看，非母语译者更多使用副形搭配；二、从种类上来看，母语译者更多使用修辞功能更强的进一步描述型副形搭配；三、从翻译策略上来看，母语译者对进一步描述型副形搭配的运用体现出更多的创造性。本文认为，这一系统性差异体现了非母语译者与母语译者在语言思维上的差异。

The study aims to find out if there exist differences between native （native language being English） and non-native translators in their use of adverb-adjective collocations by comparing the English translations of three Chinese fictional works. We find three consistent discrepancies. First, non-native translators show a tendency to use more adverb-adjective collocations than their native counterparts. Second, native translators resort to a richer variety of adverb-adjective collocations, especially the further description type. Third, native translators display a higher degree of flexibility and creativity in employing adverb-adjective collocations of further description. We believe these discrepancies reflect systematic stylistic distinctions between native and non-native translators.
