《我的安東尼亞》出版於1918年，是維拉凱塞的第四本小說。這本小說雖然沒有立即讓她立萬揚名，但日後卻成為她最為知名的一部作品，且為她贏得了國際的聲譽，亦讓她成為20世紀美國最出色的作家之一。故事背景為美國中西部的內部拉斯加，講述著一戶波西米亞移民如何在美國西部開墾，最後苦盡甘來的故事。故事敘事者為吉姆。在他中年時，與兒時在內部拉斯加的玩伴安東尼亞重拾情誼，因而再這本《我的安東尼亞》裏，記下了安東尼亞讓他所回憶起的孩提歲月，以及和他們一起度過的種種人、事、物。
本論文分為七個章節。在導言中，我說明為何我選擇了《我的安東尼亞》作為我論文的題材，以及為何我決定著手翻譯這本小說。在第一章裏，我簡單介紹維拉凱塞的生平，以及《我的安東尼亞》背景資料與小說中之歷史元素。第二章將探討《我的安東尼亞》中主人公吉姆與安東尼亞兩人的關係。在第三章中，我介紹本論文所應用之翻譯理論，以及探討目前我在台灣唯一找到的中譯本，湯新楣所譯《原野長宵》當中的一些問題。在第四章，我將討論我在翻譯過程中所遭遇之困難。第五章為筆者所譯之《我的安東尼亞》的簡介。最後一部份為筆者的譯本﹕《我的安東尼亞》。

Willa Cather’s fourth novel, My Ántonia, was published in 1918. Although the novel did not bring her immediate success then, it is her best-known novel and won her international reputation as one of the best American writer in the twentieth century. Set in Nebraska, the novel tells of a story of the struggling life of a Bohemian immigrant family in the mid-west America. Jim is the narrator of the story, and by rebuilding his friendship with Ántonia, his childhood playmate in Nebraska, in the middle of his life, he tells in this novel all he can remember of his childhood, his friends, and everything that is relating to this foreign girl.
The thesis has seven chapters. In the Introduction, I will explain why I chose this novel and why I wanted to translate it. In Chapter I, I will have a brief introduction of Cather’s life and the historical context of the novel. Chapter II will be focused on the exploration of the relationship between the two main characters, Jim and Ántonia. In Chapter III, I will introduce the theories I applied to my translation and, besides, a general survey of the problems of Tang Xinmei’s translation of the novel, which is so far the only Chinese translation I can find in Taiwan. In Chapter IV, I will discuss the difficulties I encountered in the process of translation. Chapter V is a brief introduction to my translation of this novel. The last Chapter is my Chinese Translation of this novel.
