What is the nature of translation? Is it science or art? This question has been discussed for a long time. This paper focuses on the difference between translation and translation theory. At the same time, it describes the definition of science, art and technology. It points out that translation itself is an art instead of a science while translation theory is a science. Many people always mix up the two concepts. At last, a conclusion is drawn: translation is an art although it contains some technological elements.
