Open publisher page 0 citations
Abstract
Over a long time,translation theory has been advocating the objectivity and faithfulness in the reproduction of the original text and opposing the subjectivity.However,the logic indications of many translation theories,the nature of human being as translation subject,the subjectivity of translation language and the subjective construal of translation all make clear that the subjectivity is unavoidable in translation,which are mainly presented in forms of selectivity,sensibility and creativity of translation subject consciousnesses.Accepting this subjectivity doesn't mean the denial of translation objectivity but the dialectic cognition of translation essence.
