 摘    要
 翻译是一种跨语言、跨文化的交际行为。在翻译过程中，译者最主要的任务就是将原文作者的意图准确地传达给译文读者，达到原文的交际效果。言语行为理论是语用学领域的重要理论，对翻译具有指导性作用。从言语行为理论角度来阐述翻译就是要求译者不仅能够了解原话语的表面意思，而且要知道它的真正交际目的，从而在翻译中才能正确地传达作者的意图。本文旨在运用言语行为理论对中国经典小说《围城》中的语句进行分析研究，探讨译者在翻译该作品时，是如何运用翻译技巧，在中西方文化差异比较大的情况下，将该小说呈现给西方读者的。

ABSTRACT
 Translation is a cross-language and cross-cultural communicative behavior. In the process of translation, the most important task of translator is to convey the real intentions of source text to target text readers accurately，and achieve the communicative purpose of the original text. Speech Act Theory, as the first major theory in pragmatics, plays an important role in the practice of translation. Explaining the nature and purpose of translation from the perspective of Speech Act Theory not only demands that the translator should understand the literal meaning of utterances, but also know the illocutionary force of communication. Only in this way can the translator be loyal to source text. This thesis aims to analyze the English translation of classic Chinese novel Fortress Besieged from the perspective of Speech Act Theory and try to make a summary of the strategies the translators employed in order to present the novel to western readers under the circumstance of great cultural differences.

 Key words：Speech Act Theory; Fortress Besieged; translation strategies; illocutionary act
