Features: Most people who have read Dream of the Red Chamber would agree with this opinion, and even foreigners who have read the book hold the same view. Slovak translator Marína ?arnogurska, for example, said that it is a symphony of genius in fiction, prose, and poetry, an encyclopedia that compiles all important aspects of Chinese culture, and a novel that embodies profound life philosophies and worldviews—such a masterful literary work does not exist anywhere else in the world.
The translation study of Dream of the Red Chamber may be a case study, but it can draw rich inspiration and resources from the comparative study of two languages, literatures, and cultures. By systematically organizing and summarizing these insights with scientific methods, our translation research can be grounded on a solid foundation of contrastive linguistics, contrastive cultural studies, literary aesthetics, and translation poetics. This approach can lead to discoveries in these fields and contribute to the development of translation studies and the translation industry.
