in the second conclusion, the influence on the reconstruction of theinterpersonal meaning in the original text is that the speech sounds more euphemistic andmore polite. On the other hand, frequent use of explicit subjectivity during a speech alsotells the lack of confidence of the speaker which is for sure driven by the translator(s).Different from Yangs, neither Hawkes nor Minford is a native Chinese-speaking person, socharacters under their pens use more metaphors (I think, I believe, I’m afraid, etc.) beforethey talk about certain proposition. This doesn’t mean that the effect on the reconstructionof interpersonal meaning is totally negative. It helps to portray characters with milderpersonality or lower social status than their listeners while undermines the description ofcharacters the other way around. Furthermore, such a way of speaking corresponds to thespeaking habit of English-speaking people and makes the translation sound more fluentand natural and thus more easily accepted by its western readers.In conclusion, though there are differences in the use of interpersonal metaphors in thetwo English versions translated by Hawkes and Yangs, it's difficult to say which is betterthan the other in the reconstruction of the interpersonal meaning of the original text. Thesignificance is to find out which does better in a certain way, how the reconstruction of theinterpersonal meaning is influenced, and why certain phenomenon happens.

5.2 Limitations and Suggestions for Further Research
　　n spite of all the efforts the present research makes to seek appropriate combination ofquantitative analysis and qualitative analysis, the following limitations do exist:Firstly, due to the limitation of time, money as well as manual labor, the writer cannotbuild her own corpus but build a search platform based on another corpus. As the corpus isnot constructed particularly for this research, many functions needed during the researchare unavailable. As a result, regular expressions can only cover those mostly typically usedmetaphors instead of all forms of them.Secondly, for the fourth generalization in 4.2, i.e. “In terms of value degree ofprobability, both Hawkes’ and Yangs' versions see most occurrences of median probability,lesser ones of high probability and least ones of low probability either for explicitsubjectivity or explicit objectivity” the sample discourse analysis cannot explain why thetwo versions happen to have a similar use and how such use influences the reconstructionof interpersonal meaning.Thirdly, with limited efforts and time, only three speeches made by Wang Xi-feng toher elders are analyzed, which may result in the insufficiency of qualitative analysis inspite of the fact that the discourse analysis does correspond to the findings made fromquantitative analysis.Based on the findings and limitations discussed above, the writer tends to make thefollowing suggestions for future research:1. In comparative translation studies, it is possible to combine quantitative studieswith qualitative. Such a research method should be more widely used to achieveboth high accuracy and persuasiveness of a research.2. Interpersonal metaphors play an important role in conveying the interpersonalmeaning embodied in the original, so it can serve as an efficient variant duringtranslation practice, comparative translation studies as well as translationevaluation.3.
