How to Reproduce the Meaning of the Prose Accurately

The essence of prose lies in expressing meaning and feeling of the prose, describing things and reasoning in real,plain and direct way, which is referred as its natural character. What the prose requires is to strive to make equivalence in the meaning, forms, taste, style and other aspects with the original text. What the prose express is not only the thematic meaning but also the stylistic meaning, in other words, the meaning that was contained in the content and forms. Hilaire Belloc, a famous prolific writer and historian, have formulated the six principles in translation of prose, in which he believes that the essence of translating is the resurrection of an alien thing in a native body.
