摘　　要：English and Chinese are different in the way they realize cohesion. The English learners should bear in mind the different cohesive devices predominantly employed in the two languages so as to gain a thorough understanding of the source discourse and then produce acceptable discourse when translating from English to Chinese. Through a contrastive study, with a special reference to the English novel Vanity Fair （1996） and its Chinese version Minglichang （1997）, this paper aims to explore the differences between English and Chinese cohesive devices, namely, reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion and attempt to put forward the corresponding translation strategies. The writers hope that the findings can be helpful in English-to-Chinese translation teaching when the teacher shows how to produce cohesive discourse in the target language
