The Study About Idiom Translation Of Contemporary Korean Translation Of <The Story Of The Stone>

South korea several tanslators have translated<The story of the stone>.When it is translated,one problem is translating Chinese idiom.Because there are unique features of Chinese and Chinese culture in Chinese idiom.Author difine Chinese id iom as Cheng-yu(??),Su-yu(??)and Xie-hou-yu(???).After Korea was free fr om colony in 1945,how did contemporary Korean-translated<The story of the ston e>translate idiom in<The story of the stone>?The thesis of this paper primarily is this question.Author will study features of each Korean-translated<The story of the stone>in translating idiom,and assess each Korean-translated<The story of the stone>.The subject of the study is the 4 contemporary Korean-translated<The story o f the stone>.At first,this paper identify "contemporary" with after Korea was free from colony in 1945.After that time,structure of society was recovering,and stud y about Chinese literature was also developed.After then,several translators translat e<The story of the stone>.This paper study the 4 Korean-translated<The story of the stone>which are selected in several books of Korean-translated<The story of the stone>,because these 4 translations are both "Dan-yi-ben(???)" and "Wan-yi-ben(???)"."Dan-yi-ben(???)'' is what is directly translated from Chinese.An d this isn't what is at first translated from Chinese into foreign language which is not Korean,and then again is translated from foreign language into Korean."Wan-yi-ben(???)" is what is translated from the chapter 1 of<The story of the ston e>to the chapter 120 of<The story of the stone>.The 4 Korean-translation are:? "Cui-rong-che((?)),Gao-min-xi((?))translate.<The story of the stone((?)>1-5,South Korea:Nanam,2009."? "Hong-shang-xun((?))translate.<The story of the stone((?))>1-7.South Korea:Sol,2012."? "1?'Yan-bian university team of translating<The story of the stone>'translate.<The story of the stone((?))>1-4.Yan-ji:Yan-bian people publication,1978.2?'Yan-bian people literature publication team of translation'translate.<The story of the stone((?))>1-4.South Korea:Olje,2016."?
