Nida's translation theory is the contemporary China's earlier introduction of foreign translation theories,his theory of translation studies has exerted great influence in the world, especially his translation theory of "dynamic equivalence" has important significance for the translation work. Nida defines translation as: "to the style with the closest natural equivalence in the target language to reproduce the original information from semantic." He described his theory of dynamic equivalence like this: "Anything can use a language also can be used a different language to express; In between language and culture can by looking for translation equivalence, restructuring the original form and the semantic structure in the proper manner for international." In the book of "explanation of Nida's translation theory and practice" is called the explanation is that the closest natural equivalence, is for meaning and style. The so-called "dynamic", refers to is not immutable and frozen, but according to the actual situation to make corresponding change, thus, this equivalence is also flexible and relative, rather than understanding the traditional sense of "the literal translation". 

Translation at home and abroad for mixed of nida's dynamic equivalence theory. Liu Jianfei in his essay "the nida's "dynamic equivalence" translation theory analyses argues that nida's "dynamic equivalence" translation theory "points out the nature and task of translation is to reproduce the original information in the target language, translation method is to use the closest natural equivalent of the source language message reproduction. This theory play a very important role in translation practice, but it also has some limitations, such as the scope of application and so on. Chen Yali in his essay "beyond" literal translation "and" free translation "struggle -- on Nida's theory of" dynamic equivalence" in the translation of meaning" that Nida's "dynamic equivalence" theory has very strong applicability for English and Chinese translation, because this theory not only set the ideal goal for translators, but also pointed out the relative flexibility and translation; both emphasize the faithful Yu Yuanwen, but also to fit the target language and the source language; it is"literal translation",  while beyond the "literal translation" and "free translation" dispute. In the letter Ji core of Nida's theory of dynamic equivalence theory in practical application, and in the translation of literary works" that his theory lacks of application of dynamic equivalence in practical translation such as literary translation and its usefulness, but lack dynamic equivalence theory of aesthetics in literary works value conversion. Xue Ningdi in the paper "a discussion with Mr. Zhou Kaixin on" dynamic equivalence "theory" that Kaixin evaluation week that obviously biased and deficiency of Nida's translation theory, reflected in the "dynamic equivalence" and "reader response", "translation is a communication" as a new concept. The author did some argue on Mr. Zhou criticism of Nida's "dynamic equivalence" theory in this paper. Zhang Xuefang in the essay "from the dynamic to wait until functional equivalence-The translation theory of Nida's equivalence thinks that ": Nida's translation theories, especially his translation view, scholars had a profound impact on both home and abroad. This article try to discuss the three stages of translation theory, the analysis of his formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence theory, as well as the basis of the functional equivalence proposed by a simple review of its theoretical perspective. 

Abroad for "The Story of an Hour" translation studies from The perspective of feminism, The mood more, text structure analysis, explain why Louise's death, but less for Chinese translation studies. Taylor & Francis Group in The paper The Speed That Kills: The Role of Technology in KateChopin \ 's The STORY of AN HOUR "is analyzed in The Louise eventually The cause of death. Selina jamil in his article "THE Emotions in THE STORY OF AN HOUR" thought that emotion is the reason why kill Louise. Few foreigners have focused on Chinese translation studies, I use  nida's translation theory as the Angle of view to study the two Chinese translation, trying to improve the rational knowledge of translation, to advocate the purity of the source language, emphasize the dissimilation, this is my thesis topic of the novel.

This article is intended to use nida's dynamic equivalence theory to analyze the difference of two translations, try from the vocabulary equivalence, syntactical equivalence, textual equivalence and stylistic equivalence four aspects on the analysis of two Chinese versions of objective. This perspective is different from Deng Yimin in his paper "The Story of an Hour or two kinds of comparative study of Chinese translation from The sentence form, content, style representation and cultural transmission of Kate Chopin's short Story The Story ofan Hour of two Chinese versions with comparative studies. The purpose of this paper is to improve the rational knowledge of translation, to advocate the purity of the source language, emphasize the disassimilation.

The paper outline

Introduction of Faithfulness,Expressiveness,Elegance and Dynamic equivalence

  1.1 Faithfulness,Expressiveness,Elegance

  1.2 Dynamic equivalence

  1.3 YanXueJun’s translation and pursues in the green version of translation theory

     1.31 Under the guidance of elegant writing theory of YanXueJun’s translation

     1.32 Under the guidance of the theory dynamic equivalence translation of 

         Green’s translation

2.On the basis of the theory of dynamic equivalence analysis of two Chinese versions

  2.1 Vocabulary equivalence

  2.2 Textual equivalence

     2.21 Contextual consistency

     2.22 Situational context

     2.23 Cultural context

  2.3 Syntactic equivalence

  2.4 Stylistic equivalence

Comparison of the two translations

  3.1 A more intuitive performance: green version of basic, paragraphs and paragraphs of the text and the translation with the original paragraph YanXueJun, his subsection has his own idea in it. Here is based on two translation articles section can be analyzed, with the help of nida's equivalence theory.

  3.2 Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death.

    大家都知道马拉德夫人的心脏有毛病，所以在把她丈夫的死讯告诉她时是非常注意方式方法的。是她的姐姐朱赛芬告诉她的。（葛译）

    马拉德太太患有严重的心脏病，所以关于她丈夫死亡的噩耗只能格外谨慎地透露给她。这不幸的消息是马太太的妹妹约瑟芬告诉的。（颜译）

     Obviously in the two versions of example translation, The translation of Ge   pays more attention to reproduce the source language, and the translation of Yan is more important to assimilation. From the context of the dynamic equivalence theory is analyzed.

  3.3 Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will – as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been. 

    这会儿，她的胸口激动地起伏着。她开始认出来那正向她逼近、就要占有她的东西，她挣扎着，决心把它打回去——可是她的意志就象她那白皙纤弱的双手一样软弱无力。当她放松自己时，从微张的嘴唇间溜出了悄悄的声音。（葛译）

    现在，她的心怦怦乱跳。她开始认出那种向她袭来并占据她心灵的东西。她决意要把它拒之门外，但是又感到自己正象这双白嫩纤细的小手一样是那样的无力。她开始沉缅于感情之中。这时，她微启双唇，发出微弱的声音。（颜译）

    “two white slender hands” Ge translated it into white and delicate hands, Yan translated it into this pair of white delicate hands. It reflects the two translators' different translation theory, Ge's translation is straightforward and the translation of YanXueJun decorated with his color.With the help of the vocabulary of nida's equivalence theory to analyze.
