Features: It is worth noting that translation studies, while introducing various theories, tend to be swallowed up and absorbed by them. Although the field of translation studies appears to be expanding, there is a hidden risk of losing its own position as translation moves from the periphery to the center. In the face of this danger, we must remain clear-headed and maintain an independent awareness of the discipline of translation. We must explore translation theory issues from the perspective of building translation studies systematically. The "New Perspectives in Translation Studies" series, edited under the support of Shanghai Translation Publishing House, is a concrete embodiment of this effort. The "New Perspectives in Translation Studies" series has a clear pursuit: First, the selected topics should strive to have considerable theoretical depth and originality, contributing to the theoretical construction and development of the discipline of translation; Second, the research should strive to be systematic, ensuring the quality of the research with a strong sense of inquiry, scientific research methods, solid arguments, and comprehensive data; Third, the research should strive to be open, requiring researchers to have a broad theoretical perspective while keeping up with the latest developments in international translation theory research. It is especially important to have a spirit of exploration in the research and strive for innovation. With the support of colleagues in the translation field and the efforts of the authors, our pursuit can be further realized. This series explores translation theory issues from the perspective of building translation studies systematically. The selected topics have considerable theoretical depth and originality, and the research is systematic, open, and innovative.
