摘要：中国典籍英译是中国文化"走出去"战略的重要任务之一,已成为目前翻译学习与研究的重要课题。在翻译过程中，显化和隐化是译者最常用的翻译策略之一，合理运用显化和隐化策略有助于译者更好地表达原作者的交际意图。罗经国的英译《古文观止<精选>》体现了作者扎实的语言功底和深厚的文学素养,具有较高的文学价值,是研究中国典籍英译的重要文献之一。本文从关联理论的角度，选择中国古代文学读本《古文观止<精选>》中罗经国编译的英译本作为案例，运用案例分析法、定量分析法和定性分析法对文本进行研究。从而对比显化和隐化在译本中的分布情况，阐释显化和隐化的成因，并探究其在目的语环境中产生的效果。

研究得出结论如下：一、显化现象明显多于隐化现象。二、由于中西文化背景与语言习惯的不同，显化对于不同认知环境下的作者与读者来说必不可缺；而隐化能为读者创造更好地认知环境。希望本研究能够深化读者对显化和隐化的理解和认识，为典籍翻译研究提供新的角度,同时能够更好地理解和传播中国文化。
