Therefore, dialogue translation quality is essential for a detective novel to hold its appeal to readers across different languages and cultures. Based on this, this study selects Chinese translations of Agatha Christie’s detective novel Death on the Nile as research subject, and then conducts a comparative analysis of cases at the lexical and syntactic level under the guidance of relevance theory and its principle of optimal relevance. In the end, this study summarizes the differences between the two versions of character dialogue translations. It is hoped that the translation of character dialogues in detective novels can solve common translation problems in the lexical and syntactic level, and achieve optimal relevance under the guidance of relevance theory, thereby establishing effective communication between the original text and the translator, as well as between the target text and its target readers.展开更多
