摘    要
 對聯有著悠久的發展歷史，這種古老的文學藝術形式，歷千年不衰，至今仍煥發著青春，受到人民喜愛。對聯也大量出現在眾多文學著作中，如《紅樓夢》等名著中，在這部作品中，連回目都是對聯。如何翻譯好其中的對聯，滿足這部作品跨文化的需求，是值得翻譯工作者探討的.
 英國著名翻譯理論家彼得·紐馬克在圍繞翻譯界歷來存在的直譯和意譯紛爭的基礎上,借鑒其他學科的基礎理論,提出了文本類型理論,構成了其翻譯理論的核心。
 本文通過紐馬克這個核心理論來研究紅樓夢中對聯翻譯，從文本類型的角度來探討對聯翻譯中必須掌握的一些原則和技巧。作者認為，譯者應該盡可能傳達原文的美學價值以及深層次的文化含義。
 
 關鍵詞：文本類型理論；紅樓夢對聯；對聯翻譯

ABSTRACT
 The Chinese couplet has a long history. Through more than a thousand years' history, the Chinese couplet does not lose it's charm, and instead gains strong popularity among the folks. The Chinese couplets are also available in many chinese literary works like A Dream of Red Mansion. Furthermore, the titles of the chapters in the novel are Chinese couplets. Couplets are so important in this great novel, thus the study of the couplet translation in this novel is of great importance for the translators.
 The well known Engligh translator Peter·Newmark brings forth text type theory on the basis of other translation theories, which is the core of his study.
 This paper intends to study the couplet translation in the novel A Dream of Red Mansion, giving readers a better idea to appreciate this great novel and the couplets in it. The author puts forth the principles and techniques which must be mastered in couplet translation. Translators should bear two points in mind: the reappearance of aesthetic beauties and conveying of cultural connotation of couplets.
