摘 要浮生六记是清朝沈复所写的一部自传体散文。在这本书中，沈复描写了与其妻子芸生活中的多种中国传统文化。他们的生活可以被看做中国古代一个普通家庭的典型生活。这本书充满了沈复独特的审美观、价值观，以及在艰难日子里的乐观生活态度。这些都与林语堂的人生哲学相符，所以林语堂成功将浮生六记翻译出来。
翻译是一种与伦理紧密联系的复杂的跨文化活动。一个专业的译者不仅能翻译语言，更能承担起译者的责任。在众多翻译理论中，切斯特曼的翻译伦理理论是切实可行的，它已经广泛应用于文学翻译，取得了可喜的成果。但从这个理论角度来分析浮生六记林语堂版本的研究并不多。笔者希望能为林语堂的翻译研究提供新视野，同时为目前的翻译伦理研究做出力所能及的贡献。
切斯特曼在总结前人的研究成果的基础上提出了翻译伦理的五大模型。他们是：再现伦理、服务伦理、传意伦理、规范伦理、专业责任伦理。此篇论文将翻译伦理模型和林语堂的翻译实践相结合，具体分析以探讨林语堂的翻译策略和布局。本文分为四部分，其中第三部分是主体，将分别从切斯特曼的五大翻译伦理模型分析林语堂版本的浮生六记，同时也探讨翻译活动中每个模型的作用。
