Abstract

The translation of pun has been a difficult problem. In this paper, the writer will compare the third chapter of the two English versions of Hong Lou Meng on the basis of Delabastita's theories on translation strategies of puns. According to the analysis of the data, it is believed Hawkes is reader-oriented and tends to be assimilating and Yang Xianyi is source-oriented and tends to be alienating.
