Knowledge, as technology, drives the vehicle of human labor; as thought, enters a foreign territory by taking the boat of language and is integrated with the local culture as the result of collision, filtration, reconstruction and fusion; and as energy, flows into a nation or a culture, which can not only fill the sciential gaps and clarify the profound and subtle puzzles, but also push forward the symbiosis of human civilization. The process of translation is just the globalization of knowledge. That is, the recontextualization of knowledge is its realization of the worldwide migration and diversified symbiosis by means of structural transformation, meaning consummation and cultural adaptation.The travel of knowledge from local place to the world carries the analogical or metaphorical implications at the level of Symbiosis Theory: the transformation of energy, and this is consistent with the core and internal reference of Symbio-Translatology, under which guidance this paper analyzes how knowledge, while travelling, is generated, transitioned and transcended before coming to the symbiotic state in exotic domains. The author concludes that translation is essentially interlingual and intercultural transformation and symbiotic construction of knowledge as energy, and a text is a “workshop”, an open space, a contact zone of knowledge between ethnic groups and societies. The translator?s task is to “enter” the “workshop” of a text, explores the internality, mobility, initiative and creativity of textual meaning to effectively transfer knowledge as energy.
