Features: "Translation Tea House" is another series of translation-related reading materials dedicated to readers by China Foreign Languages Publishing House, following the "Translation Theory and Practice Series" and "Series Translation Review Series." The characteristics of this series are:
1. Theories are integrated into the text, neither pursuing the establishment of a system nor using academic terminology, making it easy and enjoyable to read;
2. The length of the articles is not restricted, but most of them are rich in content, fluent in writing, reflecting the author's extensive translation experience and solid Chinese proficiency;
3. Since these articles reflect the author's personal insights into translation, they are highly individualized and therefore very engaging, sparking the reader's interest;
4. Composed of individual articles, reading is convenient—whether at any time, flipping to an article and reading it brings great benefits;
5. Reading these materials allows you to learn both English and translation, achieving two goals at once. The selected English originals in these books are mostly excellent articles: beautiful in words, beautiful in meaning, and rich in connotation.
The "Translation Tea House" series consists of engaging short essays, offering another fine collection for translation learners! Translation is the highest realm of English learning; an ideal path for mental training; the best for cultivating linguistic intuition. This book selects 17 of the latest American short essays, divided into four parts: Boundless Love, Between Life and Death, The Journey of Finding Family, and Embracing Nature. English originals: beautiful in words, beautiful in sentences, beautiful in meaning; Chinese translations: translating form, meaning, and the essence.
