About the definition What do we mean by translation? In the first place, the term needs alittle clarifying. Take literally, it can be given three meanings, according toconcrete contexts: 1)translating: the process (to translate; the activity rather than the tangible(that can be perceived by touching) object); 2)a translation: the product of the process of translating (i.e. the translatedtext); 3) translation: the abstract concept which encompasses(include or comprise) both the process of translating and the product of thatprocess. As far as the definition is concerned, it is very easy for us toquote one from some authoritative dictionaries, e.g. “to turn from one languageinto another (The Oxford English Dictionary)”; “to turn into one’s own oranother language”(Webster’s Third New International Dictionary of the EnglishLanguage); “to change (speech or writing) from one language into another(Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English)”. What is the common point of the three definitions mentioned above? Itis “the change of one language into another”. Nida’s (American translation theorist) definition is “Translatingconsists in reproducing in the receptor language of the closest naturalequivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning, andsecondly in terms of style (Eugene A. Nida)”. So he attaches the importance to “message”,the meaning and the style that a language conveys. So translation in its very senseis communication. In practice, the change of one language into another is only thesurface work, while the transfer of culture information ranks first in atranslator’s job. In this sense, translation may be defined as follows: Translation is a communicative act between different languages and culturesachieved through selecting the nearest equivalent in the target language formessage units in the source language. Definition of translation in the text book: 翻译是把一种语言表达的意义用另一种语言传达出来，以达到沟通思想情感、传播文化知识、促进社会文明，特别是推动译语文化 兴旺昌盛的目的。 So, it has been agreed that translation involves at least two essentials:language and culture. Therefore, the purpose of translation far more than achieving“equivalence” or “equivalence effect” is to promote cultural exchange andsocial progress.
