Reception Aesthetic Interpretation and Comparative Analysis of Chinese Translations of Wordsworth's <i>The Rainbow</i>

William Wordsworth, a leading figure of British Romantic poetry, captivates readers with his nature poems that depict natural beauty and mystery through delicate imagery and profound emotion. From the perspective of Reception Aesthetics, this study conducts a comparative analysis of two Chinese translations of Wordsworth's classic nature poem The Rainbow--Zhang Baohong's version and He Gongjie's version--focusing on rhythmic transmission, imagery conveyance, reconstruction of artistic conception, and readers' horizon of expectations. The paper aims to deepen Chinese readers' understanding of Wordsworth's poetry and offer new insights for poetic translation.
