Reception theory%If I Were King%horizon of expectations
“If I Were King” by Nie Gangu is renowned for criticizing servility and autocracy. This paper focuses on two different translation versions of Zhang Peiji and Liu Shicong from the perspective of Reception theory.

The paper analyzes the translation strategies of Zhang and Liu based on those four diferent aspects.
