It was not so conspicuous among the whole academic circle until the 1970s when the “Cultural Turn” came into being. From that time on, translator’s subjectivity has been given increasing attention on the part of both the translation theorists and translation practitioners.Vanity Fair, the renowned novel written by William Makepeace Thackeray, has made a name for itself since its publication. As one of the greatest critical realist writers of the 19th century in England, William Makepeace Thackeray drained his ironic power to describe all sorts of characters in the novel such as the sharp Bechy Sharp, the amiable Amelia, etc. The sarcastic tone, the incisive expression together with the humorous style distinguished this classic from its contemporary works, which has vividly depicted all forms of ugliness existed in the upperclass society in England in the 19th century. Meanwhile, the uniqueness of the classic as well as the great linguistic gap between two cultures bees a huge barrier to the translation of the novel. Translators in China have made strenuous efforts to try and adopt different methods in order to vividly reproduce it in Chinese for the benefit of the Chinese readers, and their endeavors in the work have demonstrated an obvious manifestation on translator’s subjectivity. As the process of translation or interpretation begins with the understanding of the text in question, there is naturally a connection between Hermeneutics and translation theories, for it is exactly such kind of theory that calls for understanding and interpreting the meaning of the text. Hermeneutics, a method of textual analysis, has gone through three phases, namely, classic, general, and modern Hermeneutics (including ontological and philosophical hermeneutics). It bears a close relationship with translator’s subjectivity, especially some of its core concepts such as George Steiner’s Fourfold Hermeneutic Translation Motion Theory, Gadamer’s Hermeneutic Theory of “Fusion of Horizons”, “Prejudice” and “ForeUnderstanding”. According to George Steiner’s Fourfold Hermeneutic Translation Motion Theory，a translation cannot be achieved only when it is posed after the translator undergoes four necessary phases, namely, trust, aggression, corporation and pensation. None of the four steps can operate independently to produce the desired effect without involving translator’s subjectivity for the reasons that, in the first place, a text would not be chosen for the act of translating if the translator does not have faith in the translatability of the text. And then, during the process when the translator penetrates into and tries to make sense of the text, he unavoidably injects his own subjective factors into his prehension. Thirdly, the ultimate aim of aggression is corporation, which is more or less mixed with translator’s subjectivity. Thus, pensation is indispensible to make up for the discrepancy caused by the cultural gap and translator’s subjectivity. Gadamer’s Hermeneutic Theory of “Fusion of Horizons”, “Prejudice” and “ForeUnderstanding” has unveiled the essence of translation that in order to do translation, the translator should first of all act as a reader, then as a writer. In line with Gadamer’s theory of “Fusion of Horizons”, there are two different horizons in the translator’s process of understanding and interpreting the original work as a reader: one is the text’s hor
