Meanwhile, four strategies are applied by translator in this novel. Firstly, the strategy used is keeping the metaphorical image (67%). Secondly, the use of substituting SL metaphor with has similar image meaning in TL metaphor is 16%. Thirdly, translating metaphor into metaphorical meaning is 12%. And the least is changing metaphor into simile which only reveals 5%.
