Linguistic Hybridity in the Poetry Translation of Hong Lou Meng

摘要

Hong Lou Meng is regarded as one of the "Four Great Classical Chinese Novels", and there have been many translated versions of Hong Lou Meng. Hybridity theory claims that all the translated versions are hybrid texts. The paper aims to investigate the linguistic hybridity phenomenon of the poetry translation in Hong Lou Meng from lexical and Syntactic aspect, by comparing its two full-text translated versions (the Yangs' version and Hawkes' version).
