Research based on stylistic markers provides an accurate method for describing language style, and the application of stylistic markers in English learning has gradually garnered attention from scholars. The analytical applications of stylistic markers in language are also pertinent to English language learning. This paper explores the use and differences of dialogue styles in both the original “Thunderstorm” and its English translation, starting from the formal and informal markers of stylistic markers. The analysis focuses on the properties of three categories of formal markers: syntax, vocabulary, and rhetoric, as well as the attributes of two categories of informal markers: the internal qualities of the work and the integration of the recipient’s perspective.

Chinese drama is an “imported product”. Its introduction is closely related to the impact of foreign culture. Western drama theory gave a lot of reference to Chinese drama creation at that time. The drama Thunderstorm not only integrates the Chinese traditional culture, but also absorbs the influence of foreign culture. “discovery” and “sudden transformation” in the ancient Greek ideological work “Potics” have been fully used in the drama Thunderstorm, among which “discovery” is an indispensable link in the narrative promotion of the whole drama. The application of “Thunderstorm” can be divided into “small discovery” that is, “discovery” that does not involve the overall situa_x005ftion, more arranged in the stage of the plot development and the beginning; “great discovery” is the discovery of the sudden effect of the plot, more arrangement and climax stage; and “multiple discovery” is “discovery” for multiple times, the use of “discovery” is also one of the key factors for the success of the drama “Thunderstorm”.
