Features: Are different languages incomparable? If so, how can we establish and maintain hypothetical equivalent relationships between different words and their meanings? Based on the equivalent relationships recognized by people, what does it mean to translate one culture into another culture's language? This book examines different aspects of modernity generated in translation from the perspective of interlingual practice, by restoring the places where various historical relationships in language practice are presented, with the aim of rethinking the possibilities of cross-cultural interpretation and linguistic mediation forms between the East and the West.
