On average, every work was translated 1.6 times. Of the 63 novels, 43 had only one rendition, and the rest were transalted twice at least, and six times at most. Half of the 66 translations of British authors were initially published in Mainland China, 31 in Taiwan, and 2 in Hong Kong, while 13 of the 34 transaltions of American authoers were first puplished in Mainland China, 15 in Taiwan, and 6 in Hong Kong. Of the British novels, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, which had been translated 6 times, was the most translated. In terms of American novels, Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer intrigued the most translators, totaling 6. In terms of quality, the percentage of good translations of American novels was higher than their British counterparts.
