《失落的书店》是爱尔兰畅销女作家艾薇·伍兹（Evie Woods）的一部小说，主要讲述了奥帕琳、玛莎和亨利三位主人公因一家消失的书店而交织在一起的命运，以及在寻找这家书店的过程中发生的一系列跌宕起伏的故事。
本文是基于《失落的书店》（节选）英译汉翻译实践的报告。该小说中人物形象众多，人物之间有大量的对话，因此本报告重点关注小说对话翻译的原则与策略。小说中的人物对话呈日常化的特点，而日常生活中的交流必定是口语化的，在翻译中也应力求还原这一特点，因此口语化是本次实践中人物对话翻译的宏观原则。在此基础上，还应从小说这一文学体裁的特性出发，确立更为具体的对话翻译原则。人物、情节、环境是构成小说必不可少的“三要素”，这三要素与小说中的对话自然也是相互影响相互作用的，因此在翻译小说对话时还应根据不同对话的具体特点，让译文与小说的“三要素”相配合呼应。具体的翻译策略为：为了丰满人物形象，在翻译对话时应突出说话者的身份与个性；为了完善故事的情节，在翻译对话时应增补其中的上下文背景与说话者的隐含之意；为了还原对话的环境，对话翻译应符合对话发生时的情境。
本报告共由五个部分组成。第一章简要介绍所选文本及其特点；第二章概述对话在小说中的作用以及对小说对话翻译的研究现状；第三章论述《失落的书店》中对话翻译的原则；第四章结合《失落的书店》翻译实践中的具体译例，从人物、情节与环境三个层面分析论述了小说对话翻译的具体策略；最后在结语部分总结了本实践报告并反思了存在的不足。

The Lost Bookshop is a novel by Irish bestselling author Evie Woods, which mainly focuses on the intertwined fates of the three protagonists Opaline, Martha, and Henry, over a vanished bookstore and a series of ups and downs that occurred in the search for that bookstore.
This paper is a report based on the English-Chinese translation practice of The Lost Bookshop (excerpt). In the novel, there are many characters and dialogues, so this report mainly focuses on the principles and strategies of translating dialogues in the novel. The dialogues between characters in the novel are of a daily nature, and the communication in daily life is bound to be colloquial, so the translator should strive to restore this characteristic in the translation. Therefore, “to be colloquial” is the macro principle of translating dialogues in this practice. On this basis, more detailed dialogue translation principles should be established based on the characteristics of the novel as a literary genre. Characters, plot and environment are the three essential elements of a novel, which for no doubt interact with the dialogues in it. Therefore, when translating the dialogues in the text, the translation should also be based on the specific characteristics of different dialogues so as to match and echo the “three elements” of the novel. The specific translation strategies are as follows: In order to enrich the characters, the identity and personality of the speaker should be emphasized; In order to perfect the plot of the story, the context and the implied meaning of the speaker should be added; In order to restore the environment of the dialogue, the translation should conform to the situation when the dialogue takes place.
This report consists of five parts. Chapter 1 briefly introduces the text selected and its characteristics; Chapter 2 outlines the role of dialogue in novels and the current research status of translation of novel dialogues; Chapter 3 discusses the principles of dialogue translation in this practice; Chapter 4 discusses the specific strategies of dialogue translation from the three aspects of characters, plot and environment through concrete examples from the translation practice; The conclusion summarizes this practice report and reflects on the existing shortcomings.
