摘要

The most evident linguistic feature of The Bridges of Madison County is the extensive use of rhetorical devices to strength-en the aesthetics of language, so rhetorical translation exerts an influence, to a certain extent, on the linguistic beauty of its transla-tions. Here it cites examples from the original book and Zi Zhongyun’s Chinese translation, analyzing and summarizing translationmethods of rhetorical devices used by the translator in her translation. It is concluded that main methods of rhetorical translationare literal translation of rhetoric, rhetorical omission and rhetorical shift, making an attempt to add new content for relevant studiesof this Chinese translation.
