2、stics of the character, is the part and parcel of the novel together with other poems in it. There are a great number of images in her poetry, which signify her features. The reproduction

3、of these images in the English versions is crucial to the translation of Lin Daiyu’ s poetry. It has been widely accepted that imagery is the soul of poetry. Therefore, the reproduction of it

4、 is the crux of the poetry translation. The image- G actualization theory, which proposed by Professor Jiang Qiuxia, suggests that image- G is the holistic concept of imagery in a literary wor
