Abstract: Garden path sentence is popular in English. It is a kind of complex but interesting structure in English. Its major feature is the wide use of attributive clauses, which are likely to make readers get lost in the garden paths---the multi-clauses. This results from the lack of full understanding what the writers really mean. This paper focuses on the comparative study of Chinese translations of garden path sentences in Great Expectation by Charles Dickens. They are the translating works by Wang Keyi and Luo Zhiye. Both of them enjoy the high circulations in China. The typical garden path sentences are chosen to make comparisons in terms of semantic, syntax, and pragmatic features. The findings show that readers tend to accept the translation which more in accordance with the background of the context and the plot development of this novel. Furthermore, they also prefer to choose the translation which expresses clearly instead of the subject is equivocal just like original text in English.
