translator to gain a better understanding of the source text and produce a better translation. This book focuses squarely on the practice of translation.Some theoretical concepts and terminology,however,are essential for a better understanding of the process,though we have dealt with these without going into excessive detail.We have tried to limit the use of specialized terminology,and we cite many examples that,we hope,illustrate the point. The reader thus will have,in one short volume,most of the concepts and tools to deal with translation problems. The book is divided into four parts.Part One deals with basic issues. Part Two with basic techniques,and Part Three with a number of more advanced issues,and each of these has exercises,sample answers with notes, and short tests at the end.Part Four presents eight short practice texts covering economics,law,society,culture,and literature,also with sample translations and detailed notes.All English translations come directly from the pens of native speakers of English or have been revised by them.This is the ideal model for doing this kind of work:teamwork between a native and a non-native speaker,each making up for the other's deficiencies,and revising the final translation together. Though there are many books on translation on the market,there are not many that deal with Chinese-to-English translation,and even fewer are written in English.In the course of this work,we have received great encouragement and assistance from Dr.Lynn Visson,our editor,and from Dr.John Balcom,who gencrously shared his materials and ideas.We wish to thank them both for giving their time and energy to making this volume possible.Lastly,we also wish to acknowledge support from Joseph and Sheila Mark Faculty Development Fund of the Monterey Institute of Interational Studies.
