Sample Sentences

最著名的当然是翻译家严复先生提出的“信、达、雅”理论。“信”就是说忠实原文,“ 达”则是说贴切地表达原文,而“雅”是指用优雅的语言表达。人们常把“信、达、雅”挂在嘴边,其实,这是很难达到的文学翻译最高境界。能够达到这个黄金标准,当然是非常优秀的翻译。不过,只有中英文水平极高,并且有丰富实践经验的人才能达到这一点。

The most well-known is of course translator Mr. Yan Fu's theories of 'faithfulness to the original text', 'communication of ideas' and 'literary elegance'. People always talk about these, but actually these standards mark only literary translation of the highest quality, which is extremely difficult to achieve. Translation that can meet these ideal standards is, of course, excellent. But only those with high command of both the Chinese and English language along with years of practical experience can consistently maintain such a standard.
