The realistic novel of The Plum in the Golden Vase successfully portrays the group image of the Chinese females.The version translated by David Tod Roy has been an important medium for the Westerners to know the Chinese culture.From the perspective of Feminism and based on the translation methods of prefacing and footnoting,supplementing,and hijacking,this paper finds that the chapter"the Tortoise Oracle"in the translation version is expounded from the three levels as follows:beautification of protagonist image from "passive acceptance"to"active face-up-to",promotion of translation value from "comment of the original"to"wide spreading of the translated version",and the ideological recognition shifted from the"mysterious and peculiar"to the"gentle and plain",and discovers the translation theory of Feminism implied in order for readers to better understand the translating significance for the inheritance of the Chinese culture.
