Abstract: The translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Zhao Yuanren makes a comprehensive experiment on the modern written language of China. In terms of grammatical norms, Zhao distinguished between “他”(he), “她”(she) and “牠”(it), differentiated “的”(de) from “底”(di), and adopted the Western punctuation system. In terms of the register, he focused on the shaping of intonation. In the aspect of phonetics, he distinguished between “国音”(national phonetics) and “京音” (Beijing phonetics),and introduced “国音” into the written form. On the aesthetic taste, Zhao, using “funny poems” and children's logic, displayed the taste and wisdom of modern written Chinese. The translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Zhao Yuanren has become a successful work that deliberately experimented with modern written Chinese in the early stage of the New literature of the May 4th Movement.

摘要： 赵元任译本《阿丽思漫游奇境记》对中国现代书面语言进行了全面的试验。在语法规范方面,区分“他”“她”“牠”,区分“的”和“底”,系统采用西方标点符号;在语体方面,着重对语调的塑造;在语音方面,区分“国音”和“京音”,在书面语中引进“国音”;在审美趣味上,以“滑稽诗”和儿童逻辑彰显现代书面白话的儿童趣味和智性。赵元任译本《阿丽思漫游奇境记》成为“五四”新文学初期有意试验现代书面汉语的成功之作。
