《红楼梦》在思想内涵和语言成就等方面都是中国古典小说的一座丰碑。自其问世以来,许多翻译家都致身于它的翻译与研究,致使它的译本繁多。其中被广泛使用和受普遍好评的有两个版本:由杨宪益、戴乃迭夫妇翻译的版本和由英国汉学家戴卫霍克斯和约翰敏福德合译的版本。这两种版本的翻译各有千秋,难分上下,但它们在许多方面确实存在着一定的差异。本文旨在分析两个版本对《好了歌》的翻译在语义保真、与上下文的关联性和翻译方法上所体现出来的差异性。 “Dream of Red Mansions” is a monument of Chinese classical novels in terms of ideological connotation and language achievement. Since its inception, many translators have been involved in its translation and research, resulting in a large number of translations. There are two editions that are widely used and widely acclaimed: the versions translated by the couple of Yang Hsien-yi and Gonzalez, and the versions translated by the British sinologists David Wechssel and John Minford. These two versions of translation each have their advantages and disadvantages, but in many ways there are some differences. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the differences between the two versions of the translation of the “Good Song” in terms of semantic fidelity, relevance to the context, and translation methods.
