Abstract As the first literature work of Chinese Four Great Classical Novels, A dream of Red Mansions takes an outstanding place in Chinese literature history. Accurate translation of this book is an important approach to spread Chinese classical culture. Wang Xifeng is the most vivid, the most attractive and the most lifelike character in A dream of Red Mansions, and readers are very impressed by her complex personality and excellent language. Moreover, her personalized language plays an important role in shaping this lifelike image successfully.43533
The previous studies on A dream of Red Mansions, related to this thesis, mainly analyze whether the translated text shows Wang Xifeng’s superb interpersonal ability and communication skill the same way as the original text from the perspective of communicative meaning. However, in this thesis, the writer tries to analyze the translated text from another perspective, which is; with the support of dynamic equivalence theory, to study and analyze the excellent translators’ translation methods and experience when they are translating character’s language and reshaping character’s image in order to learn and use for reference.
In this paper, through the analysis of Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang’s English translation version of A Dream of Red Mansions, from the perspective of Eugene Nida’s dynamic equivalence, the writer tries to research the six scenes showing Wang Xifeng’s personality characteristics, to find whether the translated text of her language in these scenes is consistent with the image shaped in the original text, and draws a conclusion that this English version not only reshapes the image consistent with the original text, but also successfully shows the original text’s splendid skills in using language, portraying characters and describing plots. Thus, this thesis deepens readers’ understanding about the two translation masters’ translation strategies and methods in order to spread Chinese classical culture in a better way.

摘 要《红楼梦》作为中国古代四大名著之首，在中国文学史上拥有杰出的地位，对其进行准确的翻译是传播中华古典文化的一个重要途径。王熙凤是其中最活跃生动、最具魅力、最生活化的人物，其复杂多面的性格和精彩妙绝的语言令读者印象深刻。其个性化语言更是在成功塑造这个鲜活的人物形象中起到了重要的作用。
目前对这部译著的相关研究主要集中在：从交际意义的角度，分析译文是否再现了王熙凤高超的人际交往能力和娴熟的语言沟通技巧。本文则尝试从另一种角度研究该译著，即在动态对等理论的支持下，研究和分析优秀的译者在翻译人物语言，重塑人物形象时用到的翻译方法和经验*751^文,论.文|网www.751com.cn，并加以学习和借鉴。
本文通过对《红楼梦》英译本（杨宪益、戴乃迭译本）的分析，从尤金·耐达的动态对等理论的角度，来研究在六个展现了王熙风性格特点的场景中，对她的语言的翻译是否与原文中所塑造的人物形象相一致，并得出结论，即杨、戴译版不仅成功重塑了与原文一致的王熙凤人物形象,而且也再现了原著中在运用语言，描绘人物，刻画情节等方面的精彩之处。从而，本文深化了读者对这两位翻译大师的翻译策略和方法的领会，以便更好地传播中华古典文化。
