Features: This book focuses primarily on the practical significance when elaborating and selecting translation theory topics, generally considering the systematic nature of translation application theory. Additionally, when analyzing various types of texts, it mainly emphasizes practical needs and does not systematically introduce the basic theories of stylistics. Starting from the needs of translation practice while also addressing translation theory and stylistics issues, this is an attempt. Whether it is appropriate or not, we hope that the users of this book will provide valuable feedback. This book was written ten years ago under the encouragement, motivation, and guidance of my teacher, Professor Zhu Guangqian of Peking University. As early as my student years, Professor Zhu had great expectations for me and imparted many teachings that have stayed with me throughout my life. After I graduated, the professor, despite enduring many hardships, never lost faith in his disciple, which constantly inspired me to persevere. The outline of this book was revised twice, and even at the age of eighty, he still worked tirelessly at his desk, pouring his heart and soul into the words. Every time he saw me or wrote to me during the past years, he repeatedly urged me not to be lazy. Professor Zhu and many of the senior teachers at Peking University, with their own academic spirit, served as role models for me. This book is a humble token of gratitude to my alma mater and its teachers.
