Abstract: On the basis of two English versions of Three Kingdoms by Moss Roberts and C. H. Brewitt Taylor, a comparative study of the translation of rhetoric devices in chapter titles are made by taking antithesis, metonymy, euphemism, hyperbole and allusion as examples. Some translation strategies are summarized in order to provide references for translating chapter titles of classic novels.

Key words: Three Kingdoms, chapter title, rhetorical device, translation strategy
