Features: Contemporary Translation Theory explains the nature and disciplinary structure of translation studies, translation methodology, issues of translatibility and its limits, translation skills awareness, and translation aesthetics. For a long time, translation theory has not received the attention it deserves, both in China and abroad, for various reasons. The definition of "translation studies" is unclear, and research in its scope is limited by historical conditions, especially by the level of linguistic research. It can be said that the propositions of the long-standing translation theory forum are quite limited, and the number of works is scarce, which inevitably prompts deep reflection. Among these, there is a very important reason within the translation community itself: the translation community has problems in methodology, as well as in concepts and understanding.
