Abstract

Dialogue theory provides a new perspective on interpreting the dialogue in cultural context and communication mode in translation. Based on Bakhtin 's theory of dialogue and Robinson' s translation rhetoric and translation ethical dialogue model, this paper examines the problem how to achieve harmonious dialogue between all the parties involved in the translation of Chinese classic poem. By employing methods of exemplifications and comparison, the study made an interpretative analysis of the corpus from “A Tribute to King Teng’s Tower ”. It found that dialogue theory helps to avoid translation defaults such as misinterpreting and improper omission in conveying the original author's creative intention in the translation of Chinese classic poem. It suggests that dialogue model exerts certain implication on interpretation and inspiration in the translation of Chinese culture classics.
