The present bachelor thesis consists of two main parts: the translation of the source text from English to Czech and the commentary on this translation. The source text is a study written by David Pollard, a well-known British sinologist, which focuses on the reception of modern Western science-fiction literature in China at the turn of the 19th century. The part presented in Czech translation first introduces the topic of Chinese science-fiction translation and the pioneering attempts of this kind. Then it goes on to analyze the early 20th century translations of a few selected works by Jules Verne. Finally, Pollard reaches a general conclusion on the development of Chinese sci-fi translation. The translation is followed by a commentary including the source text analysis, the summary of my translation concept and used methods, and an outline of specific translation problems and shifts which occured during the translation process.
