ABSTRACT
“Hamlet” is a tragic work by Shakespeare, which has been the focus and research of many scholars. Chinese scholars have also translated “Hamlet” into Chinese and conducted research. Most of the scholars' research on “Hamlet” is analyzed on the literary and cultural level. There are few studies on the translation of “Hamlet”, and most of them are studied from the perspective of literature. The translation of a work not only can show the translator's subjective consciousness and ability level, but also fully demonstrate the language characteristics, social environment and cultural environment in the historical period of the work. This paper analyzes the history of “Hamlet” translation in China and studies the humanism in “Hamlet” works.
