There are23chapters in this story, which aretranslated by our team including9translators collaboratively.This novel is a story of suspenseful mystery, and it was evaluated as "a grotesque,indirect and modern fairy tale connected with drugs, shadowing and evil". This story mainlyrepresents that a pedantic choirmaster was totally obsessed with a young girl and exerted allhis energies to pursue her, but murdered his nephew at the end.The report is divided into six parts: introduction, task description, process description,main ideas of Relevance theory and its application in translation, case analysis, summary&conclusion.Introduction is a brief of the translation experiences and the report structure.
