主　　题：Self-Retranslation intralingual translation English translations of San Guo Yan Yi 

摘      要：According to Jakobson s definition, intralingual translation involves rewording an already translated text in the same target language; however, discussions on a special kind of intralingual translation, Self-Retranslation, i.e. the translator retranslating his or her own previous versions, are few. This paper examines Self-Retranslation from within the wider perspective of intralingual translation. Two issues, which are the real relation between the source text and the target text, and self-referentiality framed in self-retranslator s mind, are proposed and elaborated, based on two intralingual English translations of the classic Chinese novel San Guo Yan Yi.
