1)Translating is the art of recomposing a work in another language without losing its
original flavor. Columbia Encyclopedia
2)Translating is the replacement of textual material in one language (SL) by equivalent
textual in another language (TL). (J.C. Catford)
3)Translation consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural
equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in
terms of style(所谓翻译，是指从语义到文体在译语中用最切近而又最自然的对等语
再现原语的信息). (E. A. Nida)
4)Translation is a craft consisting in the attempt to replace a written message and/or
statement in one language by the same message and/or statement in another language.
(Peter Newmark )
5) A translation is taken to by any target-language utterance which is presented or regarded
as such within the target culture, on whatever grounds. (Gideon Toury)
6)翻译是“把一种语言已经表达出来的东西用另一种语言准确而完整地重新表达出
来”。（范存忠）

以效果而论，翻译应像临画一样，所求的不在形似，而是神似。（傅雷）
perfection through conversion/ reincarnation （化境）
把作品从一国文字转变成另一国文字，既不能因语文习惯的差异而露出生硬牵强的痕迹，又能完全保存原作的风味，那就算得入于“化境” 。（钱钟书）
