摘　　要：Tenor determines the Interpersonal Function of language within a context.A matching Tenor is indispensable when a translator attempts to reproduce a context in the target language;especially the translator is translating a dialogue.Translating Shakespeare’s dramas is necessarily doing with the dialogue translation,for which the content and interpersonal exchange is vital for transmitting the effect of those foreign readers.Through a comparative analysis on the source text and translated text of Ophelia’s confession in the drama Hamlet,it goes to show an equivalent Tenor can form a stage for the target readers to know how Ophelia’s minds settle and what the position she is at compared with Hamlet.It also proves that Register can be a reference to assessing whether a translation is equivalent to its original text as far as literature translation is concerned.
