摘要
随着全球化的推进，文学作品的翻译在促进文化交流中占据了重要位置。《双城记》作为一部世界经典名著，采用了多种修辞手法以描绘当时的社会矛盾和人物形象。本文旨在对罗稷南和宋兆霖的中译本进行对比分析，探讨其在《双城记》中主要修辞格的翻译策略。研究采用了文本分析法，重点考察两位译者对排比和比喻等修辞手法的处理方式。结果表明，罗稷南在翻译过程中倾向于使用异化策略，通过逐词翻译和直译等方法，力求忠实于原文，体现了源语文化的归宿原则；而宋兆霖则更倾向于归化策略，采用改译和套译等灵活手法，以目的语读者易于接受的语言进行翻译，强调了目的语文化的归宿原则。通过对两种翻译策略的比较，本文揭示了翻译过程中文化差异的影响以及不同策略对读者理解的影响，为今后的翻译研究提供了新的视角与思路。

Abstract
With the advancement of globalization, the translation of literary works has taken on an important role in promoting cultural exchange. A Tale of Two Cities, as a world classic, employs a variety of rhetorical devices to depict the social contradictions and character images of its time. This paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the Chinese versions by Luo Jinan and Song Zhaolin, exploring their translation strategies for major rhetorical devices in A Tale of Two Cities. The study employs textual analysis method, focusing on the two translators’ handling of main rhetorical devices such as parallelism and metaphor. The results show that Luo Jinan tends to use a foreignization strategy in the translation process, striving for fidelity to the original text through literal and word-for-word translation, reflecting the principle of source language culture; while Song Zhaolin prefers a domestication strategy, using flexible methods such as adaptation and calque to translate into a language more readily accepted by the target language readers, emphasizing the principle of target language culture. By comparing the two translation strategies. This paper reveals the impact of cultural differences in the translation process and how different strategies affect reader comprehension, providing new perspectives and insights for future translation studies.
