Abstract The Chinese culture is broad and profound. Chinese literature works are sparkling like stars whether from the Songs of Chu to Han-fu, from the Tang Dynasty to Song Dynasty, or from modern fiction to drama. Mr. Cao Yu’s Lei Yu is one of the most excellent dramas of the modern literature. The play is a life tragedy, in which the fate made a trick to people. The author criticizes the grave social and historical sin by presenting two families which have all kinds of links with ethic in blood. 34692

It refers in Adaptation Theory that language use is a process of making full use of language’s function.

摘  要中华文化博大精深，单从文学这方面来说，从楚辞到汉赋，从唐诗到宋词，从近代小说到戏剧，无不是星辉熠熠。曹禺先生的《雷雨》是戏剧中比较有代表性的一部，所展示的是一幕人生大悲剧，是命运对人残忍的作弄。作者通过两个在伦理血缘上有着千丝万缕联系的家庭，剖析了社会和历史的深重罪孽。
本文将以顺应论为基础来对雷雨翻译进行分析研究。语言顺应论，或作为一种语言顺应理论的语用学，是文索尔伦创立的一种语言学理论。顺应论指出，语言使用是语言发挥功能的过程，或者说，是语言使用者根据交际语境的需要不断选择语言手段，以达到交际意图的过程。这里，顺应就体现为语言的使用环境和语言结构选择之间的相互适应。
对雷雨翻译的研究是多样化的，在此之前，已有很多人从多方面对雷雨的英译本做出过研究。本文将以王佐良的《雷雨》英译本为基本，对比雷雨中文原著，运用顺应论的翻译理论，以雷雨这步戏剧中的人物对话和习语为例，来分析译本中的翻译方法和翻译策略以及翻译的风格和特点。从而探讨王佐良版本的雷雨翻译的成功性以及顺应论多所有戏剧翻译指导的适用性。
