臺灣文學獎得主陳思宏的小說《鬼地方》（2019）已由石岱崙翻譯為英文版，並於2022年出版。小說對臺灣地方文化現象的細緻描繪，為譯者帶來諸多挑戰。本研究旨在探討譯者所採取的翻譯策略，特別是如何將深具在地性的文化元素有效傳達給對臺灣背景不熟悉的英語讀者。研究結果顯示，譯者在一定程度上對原文的文化內涵進行改寫與調整，以提升譯文的可讀性與接受度。其翻譯策略亦顯示出一種對目標讀者知識結構與文化距離的回應與調和。本研究以《鬼地方》為案例，從文化翻譯的理論視角出發，結合文本比較與副文本分析，依據不同類型的文化元素進行分類，歸納翻譯策略的使用趨勢，並進一步探討其背後的選擇邏輯與文化意涵。透過對翻譯策略的深入解析，本研究期望對文學翻譯過程的運作機制及其對讀者接受的潛在影響，提供更細緻的理解與批判。

Taiwan Literature Award-winning novel Ghost Town (2019) by Kevin Chen, translated into English by Darryl Sterk and published in 2022, features rich portrayal of cultural phenomena that present many translation challenges. This research seeks to address what translation strategies are employed to convey cultural elements in Ghost Town to an audience unfamiliar with Taiwan’s culture, arguing that Taiwanese culture is rewritten to a certain degree in order to increase its accessibility and understandability to the English readership, and that the translation strategies employed aim to fill presumed gaps in the audience’s knowledge. In a case study conducted through the lens of cultural translation, comparative textual analysis alongside paratextual analysis demonstrate trends in translation strategies by category of cultural element and examine the decision-making behind them. By putting forth an in-depth investigation of translation approaches, this research aims to gain insights on the translation process and the translation’s potential impacts on reader reception.
