With the help of the key notions and along the pragmatic investigation angles of Adaptation Theory, this thesis addresses creative treason in EST translation. Based on the sufficient theoretical studies, the features of EST and the analysis of a number of cases collected from translated EST works, this thesis concludes that creative treason is a translation strategy adopted by translators in order to achieve a higher level fidelity to the original text. Translators should give full play their creativity in exerting the capacity of expression of the target language to adapt their linguistic choices to the complex context. The thesis explores creative treason in the contextual adaptation which includes adaptation to the social world, the physical world and the mental world of the source text author, the translator, and the target readers in EST translation. In addition, the thesis further illustrates creative treason in the structural adaptation from three levels of language structure: lexis, syntax and discourse, and sums up some specific and practical translation approaches in achieving creative treason at these three levels.
