Abstract: The effect of relevance theory on translation practice is worth studying. According to relevance translation theory, the communicative clues arising from the language representation can help readers to the interpretation intended by the communicator and contribute to the contextual effects. In this view, especially in fiction translation, the translator must consider to preserve the communicative clues, like semantic, pragmatic, syntactic, phonetic language representation of the original work, so as to help the readers of translation derive the original intentions of the author, and have the same feelings as the original readers. On the analysis of the examples in Love in a Fallen City, a good grasp of the communicative clues would properly and effectively recreate the intentions of the original in its equivalent translation.
