Features: This series of translations has two distinct characteristics. The first is its contemporaneity, as the selected works are primarily from the past decade or so in Western translation theory. The second is its multi-perspective approach, encompassing not only the linguistic school, the literary school, or other schools, but also representative works. Taking the ten books planned for this series as an example:
1) Studies on translation from a linguistic perspective include: Translation and Translating: Theory and Practice (：), Translation and Relevance: Cognition and Context (：), Discourse and the Translator ();
2) Studies on translation from the perspective of communicative function include: Translation as a Purposeful Activity: Functional Approaches Explained (——), Translation in Systems ();
3) Comprehensive studies include: Descriptive Translation Studies and Beyond (), Dictionary of Translation Studies (), Translation Studies: An Integrated Approach (：);
4) Studies on translators from a historical perspective include: The Translator's Invisibility: A History of Translation (——);
5) Studies on translation practice include: Basic Concepts and Models for Interpreter and Translator Training (). Even among studies from a linguistic perspective, there are distinct approaches exploring translation phenomena through multiple theoretical frameworks such as cognitive, relevance, discourse, pragmatics, and psychological theories.
