摘要每种语言中都有其独一无二的称谓系统。 亲属称谓是语言中的一个重要组成部分，承载着深刻的文化烙印。中华民族源远流长的历史，灿烂夺目的文化赋予汉语亲属称谓庞大的体系和复杂的结构。而相对于汉语中的亲属称谓语，英语国家的亲属称谓则数量较少，结构简单。汉英亲属称谓之间的这种巨大差异为亲属称谓翻译和中华文化输出带来不小的困难。 《红楼梦》是我国古代小说的巅峰之作，其中人物关系复杂，亲属称谓繁多，对亲属称谓及其翻译的研究具有极大的价值。《红楼梦》译本数量并不多，其中，又以我国著名的翻译家杨宪益先生与他的夫人戴乃迭女士的合译本最为出名。 本文旨在通过研究杨宪益和戴乃迭译版《红楼梦》中对亲属称谓的翻译，并介绍杨宪益的翻译理论，探究杨宪益对亲属称谓的翻译方法，为亲属称谓翻译提供一种导向。
