　　Introduction
　　Emily Bronte’s only novel Wuthering Heights, published in 1847, was introduced to China in mid-20th century, and had many Chinese versions. One is translated by Yang Yi (Yang in short) who translated the book in 1956 and modified it in 1979. Another version was translated by Fang Ping (Fang in short), a distinguished translator. His translated work was published in 1993, which has some differences bases on different translating methods from Yang’s version.
　　1.1 Language comparison
　　(1) Lexical Level
　　An English word may have many meanings; the usage of a word may lead to different understanding of a sentence. Translators should interpret a word according to the context and the social background.
　　“This is a certainly a beautiful country!”
　　杨：这儿可真是一个美丽的乡间！
　　方：这还算不得一个美丽的山乡吗！
　　Word’s lexical meaning---denotative meaning is the meaning given in dictionary, and affective meaning is concerned with feelings and attitudes of the speaker or writer [1]. “certainly” means“当然”, which is closer to Yang’s“可真是”, and implies affective meaning, expressing deep affection. While Fang’s“还算不得”，is far away from the original meaning.
　　(2) Syntactic Level
　　In complex sentences, negation is sometimes transferred to the matrix clause from a clause where it belongs to semantically. Verbs permit such transferred negation are verbs of senses.[2]
　　“In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed of a situation so completely removed from the stir of society.”
　　杨：在整个英格兰境内，我不相信我竟能找到这样一个能与尘世的喧嚣完全隔绝的地方。
　　方：我不信在整个英国境内我还能挑中一个地方，象这儿那样完全跟熙熙攘攘的社会隔绝开来。
　　In both versions, the two translations“我不信”，that do not pay attention to transferred negation phenomenon. In my opinion, “I do not believe that…”should be translated into“我相信再也找不到”.
　　1.2 Translation Style
　　Writers express personal style that is different from others, which can be reflected in their. Translation should reflect the original style. Different translators would use different translation methods, criterion to manifest their own style at the same time.
