Composition and Classification of Translation Strategies

Abstract

Abstract: With the deep and extensive study of macroscopic translation theories and microscopic translation techniques for recent decades, translation strategies bridging the two sides have also been developed rapidly. This paper discusses composition of translation strategies and classifies them into three types: traditional, theoretical and empirical according to their historical records, theoretical origins and practical aims respectively. Traditional translation strategies are formed historically, theoretical translation strategies are an inseparable part of the systematic translation theory, and empirical translation strategies originate from and have been verified through translation practice.
