　　一众婆子去世后，探春问宝钗如何。宝钗笑答道： “幸于始者怠于终，缮其辞者嗜其利。”杨译：And as soon as the women had gone, Tan-chun asked Pao-chai her opinion.“One who is zealous at the start may grow lax before the finish,” quoted Bao-chai smiling. “Fine speech may hide a hankering after profit.”

　　霍译：After the women had gone, Tan-chun looked at Bao-chai inquiringly:“Well?” Bao-chai laughed:“He who shows most enthusiasm in the beginning proves often to be a sluggard in the end ; and he who promises the fairest is often thinking more of his profit than of his performance.

　　“…况且这通身的气派竟不像老祖宗的外孙女儿，竟是 嫡亲的孙女儿似的。” (第三回) (语气中带着对老祖 宗的恭维) 杨译：HER WHOLE AIR IS SO DISTINGUISHED! SHE DOESN’T TAKE AFTER HER FATHER, SON-IN-LAW OF OUR OLD ANCESTRESS, BUT LOOKS MORE LIKE A CHIA.

　　霍译：AND EVERYTHING ABOUT HER SO DISTINGUE! SHE DOESN’T TAKE AFTER YOUR SIDE OF THE FAMILY, GRANNIE. SHE IS MORE LIKE A JIA.

　　成语的处理 黛玉听了，“兔死狐悲，物伤其类”,不免也要 感叹起来了。湘云听了却动了气。 杨译：Daiyu, exclaimed in distress and sympathy, but Xiangyun grew most indignant. 霍译：Daiyu, feeing ‘the fox’s sympathy for the hunted hare’, was much distressed, but Xiangyun’s reaction was one of anger.

　　宗教词汇的异化与归化 刘姥姥说：“这倒不然，谋事在人，成事在天。咱 们谋到了，看菩萨的保佑，有些机会也可知…” 杨译：“Don’t be so sure,” said Granny Liu. “Man proposes, Heaven disposes. Work out a plan, trust to Buddha, and something may come of it for all you know…” 霍译：“I wouldn’t sat that,” said Grannie Liu. “Man proposes, God disposes. It’s up to us think of something. We must leave it to the good lord to decide whether he’ll help us or not. Who knows, He might give us the opportunity we are looking for …”

　　一、《红楼梦》(第三回林黛玉进贾府) 中人物外表形象翻译-比较分析杨译和霍译 1.形容脸面的词语的翻译 2.描写眉眼的词语的翻译

　　形容脸面的词语《红楼梦》中

　　用大量词语形容人物脸面形状和肤质的 词语，极富赞美之情，如“腮凝新荔，鼻腻鹅脂” “香腮” “粉面含春” “面若银盘” “面如春花” “面如桃瓣” “面如秋月”。

　　贾迎春

　　王熙凤贾宝玉

　　贾迎春曹雪芹在描写迎春的时候，用到“腮凝新荔，鼻腻鹅 脂”,汉语的四字结构音韵优美，读起来朗朗上口。杨译：Her cheeks were the texture of newly ripened lichees, her nose as sleek as goose fat. 霍译：Cheeks as white and firm as a fresh lychee and a nose as white and shinny as soap made from the white goose-fat. 分析： 霍译：当中句子结构上起到了对仗作用，cheeks, nose后面都接 了“ as...as结构，但整个译文中出现了三次”white显得啰嗦。 杨译：在描写迎春皮肤水嫩白皙却没有出现一个white,而 sleek(光滑细嫩的)一词更是比“white and shiny简洁，有力道。

　　王熙凤“粉面含春威不露，丹唇未启笑先露” 杨译：the springtime charm of her powdered face 霍译：the ever-smiling summer face

　　分析：简单来看，曹雪芹描绘的熙凤， 不仅仅是要有 “粉面”,还要有暗藏的 “威”。而霍译中只是简单译了她爱笑的 特点，而杨译中将王熙凤比作春天里万 物复苏、生机盎然、充满活力。
