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

文摘This paper first delivers the similarities between the notion of equivalence as propounded by Eugene Nida and that by Theo Hermans. 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.
