Abstract

In the evolution from old Chinese to vernacular Chinese,translation together with its hibridity has contributed a lot.Especially in modern times,the Chinese translation of western learning had great influence on Chinese vocabulary,syntax and style,though the development of Chinese itself is the major factor of its vernacularization.A good knowledge of this is significant for our reasonable treatment of impact of foreign languages today.
