This paper investigates how conflict and violence in Kenneth Grahame’s  The Wind in the Willows  (1908) is represented in Yang Jingyuan’s Chinese translation of the novel. With a subtext that implicates conflict in class struggle at a time of rapid social change, Grahame’s novel offers an opportunity to explore how ideological factors influence the translation process. Through selective tailoring and nuanced word choice, violence is culturally and ideologically appropriated in the translation so that it preserves potentially objectionable elements in the source text while complying with the prevailing ideology of the target culture. The analysis reveals how translation is intertwined with internalised censorship, which is informed by the sociocultural structures of the target context as reflected in the translator’s social and cultural history.
