摘　　要："Oxymoron"是英语文学作品中常见的一种具有独特修辞效果的修辞格。它通过巧妙地将语义相反、对立的词搭配使用,以表达较为复杂的思想感情或者说明某种意味深长的哲理,体现了语义特征的矛盾与和谐的辩证统一。汉语中也有相类似的矛盾修辞格,但由于英、汉语言的各个层面上的差异,"oxymoron"与汉语的矛盾修辞格并非完全对等,因此,翻译"oxymoron"时,译者应根据具体的语境,准确地把握矛盾修辞格中两个对立因素所反映事物的本质内涵,并按汉语的语言习惯表达出来。这样,译文才能收到良好的效果。Oxymoron is one of commonly used literary figures of speech in English, whose semantic collocation seems contradictory and unreasonable. But actually, by combining a pair of neighboring contradictory words （often within a sentence）, oxymoron is to express the subtle connotation of two different things. While translating into Chinese, a good translation can be guaranteed only in such a way that the translator should take the context, the essential connotation of two contradictory things into consideration and express it in Chinese habitual way.
