Often, thought not by any means always, it is rending the meaning of a text into another language in the way that the author intended the text. 1 不难看出,纽马克是从原 作者的意义视角来定义的。美国翻译理论学家尤金.奈达(Eugene Nida)在其The Theory and Practice of Translation 中这样定义,
10、他说: Translating consists in producing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in term of meaning and secondly in term of style. 2 很明显,奈达的定义强调信息对等,风格相似。中国学者 张培基认为“翻译就是运用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的内容准确 而完整地从新的表达出来的活动。”可见这里的翻译被看成是一种语 言的转换活动。翻译其实质是一种语言的翻译活动或行为。其学

The study and research focus is: (1) the translation process; (2) translation methods and skills; (3) translation evaluation standards; (4) translation practice.3 Due to the differenc
16、es in language construction between languages, translating form one language into another language, the meaning of the source language may be cut or change, so the translation is a very difficult thing. So is three a kind of translation theory? When asked translation is a science or art, people have different opinions. I think the translation is both science and art; the reason is that because translation is a very exquisite skill of practical science. The essence
