• Abstract: The translator’s subjectivity plays a crucial role in the translation process by understanding and grasping the essence of the original text and presenting it, and the feminist view of translation with distinct gender characteristics provides a new perspective for the study of translator’s subjectivity. From a feminist perspective, this paper compares and analyzes two Chinese versions of Kahlil Gibran’s poetry collection The Prophet by female translator Bing Xin and male translator Li Jiazhen, and finds that Bing Xin displays a delicate and soft feminine style in three aspects: text selection, translator’s preface, and translation. This study highlights the great contribution made by Bing Xin as a female translator in the Sino-Arab cultural exchange, while making translation criticism more diverse and positively contributing to the construction of female translators’ identity. 译者主体性对原文精髓的理解把握及呈现，在翻译过程中起着至关重要的作用，而女性主义翻译观带有鲜明的性别特征，为译者主体性的研究提供了新的视角。本文从女性主义视角出发，对纪伯伦的诗集The Prophet的女性译者冰心和男性译者李家真两个译本进行对比分析，发现冰心在文本选择、译者序、译文三方面展现了细腻柔美的女性风格。本研究凸显了作为女性译者的冰心在中阿文化交流中做出的巨大贡献，同时让翻译批评更加多元化，对女性译者的身份建构有着积极的推动作用。
