Born in the 1980s, Chinese avant-garde fiction is an important part of Chinese contemporary literature, a unique and far-reaching significance. The late eighties of the last century, social economy in the recovery stage of vigorous development, social thought has also been unprecedented liberation. A large number of modern Western philosophy, language and narrative theory as well as modern and post-modern literary works were introduced to China, formalism, after modernism Western literary and artistic trend has had a profound influence on the young generation of Chinese writers. In this context, the avant-garde novel stage of history, narrative, unique content ideas for its avant-garde novel, and soon become the wave of change in the Chinese literature and art in the eighties in the the literature formal bold breakthroughs and innovation, The most active part of it. The avant-garde novels known as the history of Chinese literature formalism writing strategies to reach the highest peak of narrative techniques and language in the form of exploration and innovation. Since the 1990s, the Chinese avant-garde novels have been translated introduced to the West, has aroused the keen interest and lively discussion of Western scholars and critics, and is regarded as a classic blueprint for the study of contemporary social and cultural thought. However, so far, at home and abroad on the avant-garde novels in English Translation of research is still very limited. Therefore, in this article from the Chinese avant-garde novels start in the language formal innovation, focus on two aspects of the study: a pioneer novel language deviate from the conventional collocation phenomenon; pioneer novel unique rhetorical. Proceed from both, through the comparison of the original and the English translation of the avant-garde fiction of the translator in the translation process Pioneer the novelist deliberately deviate from the conventional pursuit of novelty and individuality writing strategy, and asked how unique language style reproduction Vanguard Novels The other issues were discussed. The research data in this article consists of two parts, one derived from the English translation of works of Chinese contemporary literature, including Andrew Jones (Andrew F.

In this study, the analysis found that the collection instance, Pioneer novelist variety of writing a novel language and narrative innovation and exploration, these formal innovation constitute the most unique and important feature of the pioneer novels. Therefore, in the process of translation, the translator should be noted that the retention of the original form of translation faithful reproduction of the original features. Depth comparison and analysis of Vanguard Novels of the original and the English translation of the paper, the translator deliberately deviate from the conventional way of expression in the face of the original language in the form of innovation, often carried out with varying degrees of deletion and desalination. This is particularly evident in collocations. Pioneer novelist during language innovation often do not follow the general syntax translator for the target language readers to accept the degree and the translation fluency consider, to dilute the language of the original innovation to ensure that the original content and faithfully convey. This article also pointed out that, despite the translation, the original content is truthfully convey, but on the deletion of the original form of desalination will definitely lead to the lack of the novel overall style weakened pioneer novel unique literary characteristics, their literary effect, ideological The keynote convey generate certain obstacles. The hope that through this study provide an insight into the development of the English Translation of Chinese avant-garde fiction, the pioneer literary translator should be strengthened in the translation concern reproduction of the original form. At the same time, the article pointed out, the pioneer of fiction translation research is still in its infancy. Given pioneer novel of the literary forms of innovation affected subsequent decades the development of literary creation, the article points out, worthy of further exploration and research on the issue of how to reproduce the language innovation in translation.
