Features: British literary critic Richards once said: "Translation is probably the most complex activity in the entire process of cosmic evolution so far." And English-Chinese and Chinese-English translation can be said to be the most complex activities within this complex process. In short, the only standard for testing truth is practice, and the standard for testing translation theory is producing good translation works. This book introduces the three aspects of symbolic relations (semantic relations, grammatical relations, and pragmatic relations) while discussing the important process of translation—comprehension. It provides an in-depth analysis of how to appropriately express and the relationship between comprehension and expression based on a correct understanding of the original text. The text is concise throughout, with many delightful and interesting examples, making it quite readable. The book strives to apply semantic theory in semiotics to practical examples, aiming to explain issues in a relevant and concise manner. The teaching materials used are generally arranged in order of difficulty.
