This paper analyzes their main differences and similarities that find expression in their different criteria of "faithfulness" or "equivalence"and discusses their different roles in translation practice. The paper concludes that no single translation model is really better than another because the criteria of translation are dynamic rather than static.展开更多

This paper puts forward that the translation of the meaning is more important, and the meaning of the original should take the advantage when the forms and the meanings cannot be reserved at the same time. And it also says that in no way should the translator sacrifice the translation of the meaning for the sake of keeping the form, and the translator should avoid translating word for word without thinking of the translation of the meaning. This paper also discusses about the consideration of the style of the original, the target readers and the style of the writer. This paper puts forward that in translation importance should be placed on the translation of the meaning rather than keeping the form.展开更多

Nida' Functional Equivalence theory,tries to make a contrastive study on the two Chinese versions of Emma rendered in 80s and 90s by Liu Zhongde from the following three perspectives,that is differences on transmitting the three-character principle:faithfulness,expressiveness and closeness. Through a systematic comparison and contrast,the writer draws a conclusion that the version in 90s transcends over that one produced in 80s with a better mastery on the three-character principle which proposed by Liu Zhongde himself. In the end,the writer gives a comprehensive evaluation to the two Chinese versions in the view of translation principle,and suggests that we should learn from Liu's spirit in studying and conducting a study of Liu's thought and practice in translation as it is a treasure of Chinese translation.展开更多
