Deconstruction,holding a view that there is no single explanation of the meaning,started to be applied in translation practices in the 1980s.It challenges the faithfulness of traditional translation standard,but creates a new framework for translation studies,by rejecting the determinacy of meaning and emphasizing the subjectivity of translators.This research aims to take a decon structive reading on E.E.Cummings’s l(a and its Chinese version,in order to explore the translation strategies of visual poetry like l(a and prove the availability of translation studies from the perspective of deconstruction translation theory.After the illustration on the uncertainty of meaning and the subjectivity of the translator in analysis sections,the chosen Chinese version of l(a can be proved to reflect the original ideas and put forward the reborn concepts.The case study also states the practicability of deconstruc tion translation theory for translation studies.It is hoped that this research can act as an inspiration for further studies on literary translation,especially for visual poetry.
