摘 要

汉语歇后语，形成于中国劳动人民的工作和生活中，经过漫长的积累和发展，成为一种特殊的语言形式，蕴含着强烈的中华文化的特征。经过长期的发展，汉语歇后语演变成了中国文化的一种特殊形式。但是，由于它的独特性，很难被不同语言的人群理解。因此，选用合适的翻译方法翻译歇后语，是非汉语语言学习者了解中华文化的必经之路。关联理论认为译者需要根据目的语读者的语言能力选取合适的翻译策略，帮助目的语读者具有足够的语境效果，以此来达到最佳关联性的目的。本文在关联理论的指导下，探讨歇后语的翻译策略和翻译方法。本文由三部分组成。第一部分是背景介绍。第二部分，首先对关联理论进行简要的介绍，包括关联理论的特征和关联理论基础上翻译的本质。然后，介绍汉语歇后语的定义、起源和特征。在前两个部分的基础上，分析汉语歇后语翻译时遇到的问题，并针对不同的问题提出了直接翻译和间接翻译的翻译策略。第三部分是总结。
