Abstract: Despite the indispensable role it played in the development of modern translation theory, George Steiner’s After Babel has been prevented by its abstruse content and obscure language from exerting further influence in recent decades. This is unfortunate, for even if we admit that Steiner lacks originality, his historical contribution as a great synthesizer of western translation thoughts cannot be ignored. And due to the diffusive attributes of this work, there is actually considerable space left for further development, which is of great value to current translation research. Since the publication of After Babel, translation scholars have done a lot of explorative work on the nature, the law and the various attributes of translation. Among them, “descriptive translation studies” led the way for quite some time, and was once a trademark of modern translation studies. However, its limitations are increasingly recognized, and it is in danger of becoming totally obsolete. Through a historical review of Steiner’s and Toury’s translation theories, we can trace back to the beginning of modern translation studies, making sense of different views and outlining the general trend of its development, so that a clearer understanding and a firmer grasp can be acquired of the past and the present of this discipline in its modern sense.
Keywords: Steiner; translational hermeneutics; situatedness; descriptive translation studies; equivalence and norms

 
Abstract: The unit of translation has been conceptualized through either a process-oriented approach or a product-oriented one. Neither, however, has in itself done justice to the pluralistic and dynamic nature of this category. Building on the product-oriented conception, this paper maintains that the unit of translation can better be understood in terms of a prototypical concept, one that is situated on both an operational and a theoretical level. It further holds that from this new perspective, sentence should be considered the prototypical unit of translation on the operational level while text must be seen as that on the theoretical level. On both levels, ten possible units of translation could be identified on the basis of their different typicality or varying membership. Functionally, transfer is emphasized on the operational level whereas on the theoretical level, analysis is stressed. In the process of translating or in a specific translation act, however, a functional unity is achieved between transfer and analysis. The new conception is capable of facilitating the translator’s selection of the most suitable unit of translation, and it will also help to foster his or her awareness and ability of close translating.

Abstract: This study offers a comprehensive review of the progress of empirical research on interpreting in China and the West. On the basis of a critical examination of 669 relevant academic papers published up to Dec. 2017 in major Chinese and international translation journals, it summarizes the features and prospects of empirical research on interpreting in terms of perspective of interdisciplinary study, research subject, theme and content, research method and authorship. The paper then goes a step further by predicting the trajectory of the field’s future development, in an effort to offer some new ideas for improving interpreting studies in general and empirically oriented interpreting studies in particular.
Keywords: empirical research; interpreting; China and the West; literature review

Abstract: While the enumeration of “the five ways of failing to keep the original look [of the ST]” (五失本) in translation has been attributed to Dao’an, it is actually a summary of the lessons learned from the Buddhist scripture translation practices in China up to his time. This list, and his equally well-known identification of  “the three difficulties [in rendering the original]” (三不易), indicate that Dao’an was basically opposed to the “loss of the original look” in the process of translation, as he was convinced that such a loss would make it difficult for readers to understand the Dharma correctly and comprehensively.
Keywords: Dao’an; “the five ways of failing to keep the original look”; “the three difficulties [in rendering the original]”; purpose of translation; Sinicization of Buddhism
   
Abstract: Throughout the 19th century, English journals and newspapers played a leading role in the translation and introduction of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. A review of the relevant journalistic items in these publications tends to show a mixture of positive overall evaluations, frequent use of paraphrases, and notable presence of mistranslations. While the translations may be defective, the positive comments contributed significantly to the early dissemination of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the English world.
Keywords: English journals and newspapers; translation and introduction; Romance of the Three Kingdoms

 
Abstract: How can translation education adapts itself to a post-epidemic era characterized by technological empowerment and disciplinary integration? This paper maintains that attention should be focused on streamlining the management of teaching and enhancing the efficiency of professional/occupational training. An innovative approach would demand that we cast out the traditional, rigid, conservative and habitual mode of thinking, ceasing to subscribe to the paradigm of industrialized education. In its place, an internet-based conception of translation education, based on division of labor, cooperation and open sharing, should be fully institutionalized. Moreover, the way to manage the day-to-day teaching of translation and to foster the growth of qualified personnel should be duly modified so that programs of translation education could better serve the national and local developmental interests. And we should also actively promote online digital education in order to make sure that translation education fully meet the new demands of professionalization, marketization and internationalization.
Keywords: post-epidemic era; translation education; teaching management; qualified professional

Abstract: The professional ethics of legal translators and interpreters subsumes both the moral qualities they must possess and the code of conduct they are expected to abide by in conducting their professional activities. Professional ethics not only manifests itself in static norms, but also projects itself through a dynamic process in which translators and interpreters contextualize ethical principles and apply them to guide the specific acts of translating and interpreting in which they are engaged. This paper maintains further that: 1) the core ethical value which all legal translators/interpreters should pursue is the accuracy of their renditions; 2) for the realization of this core value, solid legal knowledge and effective inter-linguistic communication skills are indispensable. In addition, the authors also explore the ways to promote professional ethics in legal translation/interpretation by pedagogical and institutional means.
Keywords: legal translation; professional ethics; education of legal translation
  Abstract: As the first translation of Zhuangzi by a Chinese translator, Fung Yu-Lan’s 1926 English rendition of the Chinese classic deserves special attention from translation scholars and yet has received few academic reviews so far. This paper subjects both the text and the paratexts of Fung’s version to a mutually illuminating analysis, in an attempt to update our understanding of the historical context in which it was produced, the purpose it was meant to serve and the method of translation that Fung had adopted. The study finds that Fung Yu-Lan’s translation of Zhuangzi is not only informed with his unique philosophical vision, but is also meant to promote the Chinese hermeneutic method of geyi (namely, analogical interpretation). In this sense, it is application-oriented and should by no means be read as “a Westernized interpretation of Zhuangzi.”
Keywords: Fung Yu-Lan; Zhuangzi; paratext; philosophical vision; application-oriented translation; geyi
