The modern transformation of classical translation theories of China has a pivotal role in developing translation theories with Chinese characteristics. Chinese translation studies call for the inheritance of the classical translation theories as well as the innovation to handle with the new problems in translation practice. Three States of Literary Translations: Sense, Flavor and Ideorealm authored by Professor Chen Daliang reinterprets the key categories of classical translation theories of China from a modern perspective, divides the state of literary translation into three interrelated levels: sense, flavor and ideorealm, and constructs a theoretical system of translation state. The book is a significant achievement of constructing translation theories with Chinese characteristics and provides a framework of reference for the modern transformation of classical translation theories of China.
