Abstract

Humorous language is the most important part of the English language, and also it reflects the features of English language. It is essential to consider the divisities on national culture, character, the way of thinking and living background between China and England when we try to translate these humorous language to chinese. That is the reason why we think the translation is part of difficult. This paper selects the translation of figures of speech, and we attempt to investigate the application of figures of speech on chinese translation through dialogues of “Desperate Housewives”.
