In translation, hybridity often poses a big challenge to the translator, especially when the hybrid text is a novel. The au?thor of this paper hopes to contribute to the study of the translation of hybridity in English novels by drawing on Bakhtin ’s theory of dialogue. By analyzing the translation of linguistic hybridity in Saving Fish from Drowning, the author of this paper finds that the translation by Caiju is not good enough and tries to provide a new direction by virtue of which translators can choose right transla?tion strategies.
