A Review of Translation:Theory, Practice and Teaching Methods

Lateishefs view of translation represents one of the latest leading theories. The core of his theory is that translation is a human activity, which is different from other media. The social function of translation is to guarantee communication across two languages, as successfully as possible, like the communication within one language. He therefore proposes the principle of translation equivalence, the procedures of actual translation, and the steps of application in teaching translation.
