Features: This book is a systematically practical reference tool compiled for the practice and teaching of Chinese-English translation. It primarily focuses on individuals and titles, collecting over 6,000 entries. For commonly used famous figures from ancient and modern China and the world, in addition to their corresponding English translations, the entries list their birth and death years, identities, and major works. As for titles, apart from listing their different meanings, the entries sometimes use parentheses to highlight their distinctions and characteristics (e.g., archaic terms, dialects, complimentary usage, derogatory usage, etc.). The book is not only rich in content but also features carefully selected entries by the compiler, making it a valuable resource for translation professionals, students, and researchers in Chinese and English studies both domestically and internationally.
