摘要:: 概述改革开放以来国家机构英译当代女性作家作品情况，从性别研究的视角阐发选材过程中主流意识形态对女性文学的过滤与重构，分析这一译介行为对国家自我形象建构的积极意义，指出：国家机构英译当代女性作家作品实质上是一种国家对外自我形象建构的政治行为，通过借助文学的性别话语来帮助抗衡西方从自己的意识形态和美学立场出发的单维化的他塑，达到提升国家形象的目的。

Abstract:: After making a rough statistic survey of institutional translations of contemporary Chinese women writers since 1979, this paper looks closely into the ways institutional translation has filtered contemporary women literature and reconstructed female identity through the selection and exclusion of writers and their works. Analyses are also made to address the positive effects institutional translations of contemporary Chinese Women writers may have in helping to construct a positive national image. Thus, institutional translation of contemporary Chinese women writers is taken here as a political act of self-constructing a more favorable national image against the one-sided construction of a less desirable Chinese national image by the west.
