4、ny is a normal figure of speech which can be found widely in the literature output, such as novels and fictions. Pride and Prejudice is a classic representative of using irony successfully. At the beginning of the novel, the author wrote, “it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in
5、 possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife(Jane Austen, 1813)”, in which, the translator did not just translate it into direct language in Chinese, but considering the different culture and writhing background of both of two countries. Take this example for instance, the period they we
6、re in was the time when marriage was the most important thing for a girl and also the thing which could decide their whole life, Different with the time when translator in, marriage means a lot for them. Even for rich gentlemen, marry with a girl who is from poor family is not accepted by the whole
7、society and also be a sense of shame in their families. In that case, the author of the novel, Jane Austin, is obviously writing to satirize the young men who owned a wealth that they are very careful to find out a suitable girl for their own, which means the girl should be in the same position of t
8、heir family. In the translating version, the translator translated it into a implication word, and using must in order to extrude the irony, and also, the single man is translated into the typical expression of Chinese, which is suitable for the Chinese thinking mode, and also the Chinese culture. B

10、red the culture of the target country, and not translating the novel only into direct way of English to Chinese, and also has thought the thinking mode and the sense of humor in Chinese way, which is much more suitable to be accepted by the Chinese readers. There is also another example of translati
11、ng strategies, that is the sentence, you mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these last twenty years at least. (Jane Austen, 1813) In the novel, Mr. Bennet is an old gentleman who is always tied of his
12、wife, and looks down upon her being surprise at everything, make a mountain out of molehill, and also lack of knowledge. When he said that, he had a implication meaning of saying his wifes nervousness, and the meaning of high respect, means he had suffered a lot and cannot bear it, by the old friend
13、s and last twenty years at least, he means his wife always do the same thing. The British are more connotation of expressing their favors and disfavors, which is way Mr. Bennet did not say it directly, and chose to using irony. The author, Jane Austin, also does not like the character of her novel,
14、so she wrote the way of irony to show the weakness of characterize of Mrs. Bennet. The translator also mentioned it, so he translated into a way of joking, which is more considered of the expressing habit of British way, and also has a slightly change of expressing in Chinese style, in order to make
15、 the translation be more acceptable in China. However, the other two Chinese translating versions are not so considerate of the habit of expressing in Britain gentlemen, which totally translated into Chinese way, that is also the reason way the version which the article use is more popular. Because
16、of the translating theory of foreignization, this is stated by Italian scholar Lawrence Venuti, showed the translators should never be forget the importance of culture in the authors country, the translating version which is chose is obvious better than the other version, and translated the novel without losing the original feeling.The last example the author want to analyze is the conversation happened after the Bennet
