IV.譯文在直譯的基礎(chǔ)上將俗語與具體語境相聯(lián)系。
1)賈蓉原是個(gè)明白人，聽如此一說，便笑道：“我還有個(gè)主意，‘來是是非人，去是是非者’，這事還得我了才好。如今我竟去問張華個(gè)主意，......”（第六十八回）
楊譯：
He said with a smile，“Well，I have another plan. Since I caused the trouble it’s up to me to fix it.I'll go and sound Zhang Hua out..."
霍譯：
‘I've got another idea，'he said,‘Perhaps I should be the one to clear this mess up after all，since I am the one who got us into it I shall ask Zhang Hua straight out what his intentions are...'
V.成功的意譯。
兩個(gè)譯木中出現(xiàn)了不少成功的意譯，形神兼?zhèn)?，堪稱俗語翻譯中 創(chuàng)造性的典范：
1)興兒道這就是俗語說的‘天下逃不過一個(gè)理字去，了。”（第六十五回）
楊譯：
“As the proverb says，” he retorted，“everyone has to listen to reason.”
霍譯：
‘Because Patience has reason on her side，'said Joker.‘It’s like the proverb says："Three men with a carrying-pole can't shift Reason from its place.”'
VI.以詩體形式譯俗語。
1)秋桐便氣的哭罵道：“理那起瞎俞的混咬舌根！我和他‘井水不犯河水’，怎么就沖了他！……”（第六十九回）
楊譯：
Qiutong wept and stormed, “What's all this senseless talk from that blind rascal? I kept as clear of her as well water and river water. How could my horoscope clash with hers?... ”
霍譯：
‘Who pays any attention* to what those beggarly swindlers tell you?’she said. ‘It’s all rubbish anyway. How can I have any influence on her? I have nothing to do with her.
The water in the well
And the water in the sea ：
I've naught to do with you
Or you to do with me.
...'
VII.進(jìn)行歸化處理。
這種情況主要是針對(duì)偏重交際翻譯（即所謂Communicative translation)、以忠實(shí)于讀者和便于讀者接受（即所謂reader-based) 為基本原則的霍譯而言的。
1)無奈這些鬼判都不肯徇私，反叱咤秦鐘道：“虧你還是讀過書的人，豈不知俗語說的：‘閻王叫你三更死，誰敢留人到五更’?！?(第十六回）
