However, so far there has been no related research results. The approach to construction-based translation is an efficient way to couplet translation. It&amp;rsquo;s because the two lines of the couplet have same number of characters, part of&amp;nbsp;speech, syntactic structure, harmonious rhythm, related meanings, shared purpose,&amp;nbsp;rich culture, and approach to construction-based translation stresses taking multiple elements of construction into consideration and balance them. In this paper a multi-dimensional couplet analysis frame has been designed and applied to criticize and better existed Shanxi Merchants couplet translations.</abstract><keywords>construction-based translation,Shanxi Merchants residence,couplet translation</keywords></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list/></back></article>
