In the new media era, the translation ecology of traditional children’s literature translation has changed a lot as children’s language learning, aesthetic taste and psychological development presented new multidimensional characteristics. Based on this, from the perspective of the three-dimensional transformations in Eco-translatology, this paper makes a translation criticism on the childlike language in Zhou Kexi’s Chinese translation of The Little Prince. The purpose is to analyze the professional quality of excellent translators and combine it with the new requirements for translators in the new media era. It is expected to provide reference for the work of translation beginners, translation scholars and translation educators.
