翻译是一种跨越时空的语言活动,是把一种语言已经表达出来的东西用另一种语言准确而完整地重新表达出来。然而,在翻译实践中,译文与原文之间却存在这样或那样的“不忠”或“不等”。而这种对原文的“不等”是为了更有效更好的与原文等值,其对原文的“不忠”是为了更有效更好的忠实于原文。 Translation is a linguistic activity that spans time and space. It re-expresses exactly what has been expressed in one language and accurately and completely in another language. However, in translation practice, there are some kinds of “unfaithfulness” or “unequal” between the translation and the original. However, this kind of “unequal” to the original text is to be more effective and better equivalent to the original text, and its “unfaithfulness” to the original text is to be more effective and better faithful to the original text.
