Abstract
Translation is one of the oldest activities in human history, emerging with language almost at the same time. Translation plays an important role in promoting inter-cultural communication and transmitting cultures and new ideas at home or abroad at all times. The translation of cultural factors has been a great concern for the translation community for a long time. After doing some researches on the translation of cultural factors, people have come up with all kinds of translation devices to pull through the cultural difficulties. Domestication and foreignization is the most representative pair. A Dream of Red Mansions is praised as one of the most excellent novel in the ancient China, whose translation was started from the early 19th century. So far, the two most well-know versions have been translated by the Yangs and Hawkes. In this dissertation, the author analyzes the Yangs’ version from words, sentences and translation methods with some examples in it to discuss the translation strategies and techniques the Yangs take to translate A Dream of Red Mansions and then to accomplish inter-cultural communication.
Key words: translation; A Dream of Red Mansions; inter-culture
