Abstract

In this paper, the author analyzes the translation methods of words, phrases, sentences, poetry and texts in Uyghur translation and the English translation of "The Story of the Stone" which are translated by David Hawkes, Yang Xianyi and Dai Naidie. And the comparative result is the Uyghur translation of "The Story of the Stone" uses many communication translation methods, especially the poetry, songs and other rhythm texts which is closer to the overall rules of Hawkes’ communicative translation. Yang’s translation often uses the methods of semantic translation and retains the contents of cultural significance, the translator's language background played a greater role in the translation. The translation level of Uyghur's full translation of "The Story of the Stone" is not inferior to Hawkes' translation level.
