This short essay intends to compare and complement between Nida's Dynamic Equivalence and Skopos theory after briefly reviewing these two translation theories. It is aimed for helping readers improve their translation skills via stimulating them to consider translation issues from different angles, such as the nature of translation, the target of translation, translation market, cultural constrains, translation process, translation effects, and etc. And this essay focuses on Nida's Dynamic Equivalence and Skopos theory, a part of functional theories via comparing and harmonizing these two translation theories.展开更多

Then the paper explains the differences of these two notions from many different aspects. To discuss both the similarities and differences, the paper aims to provide both translation workers and learners new perspectives in understanding the notion of equivalence more deeply.展开更多
