Nida (尤金·奈达), translation is not accomplished by merely substituting words in a word-for-word equivalence. More often than not, this will not produce the force (or dynamic) of meaning. The translator will therefore modify the form of words so as to achieve the same force of meaning. The jargon for the same force of meaning is dynamic equivalence. And in late 1960s, Eugene A. Nida defined translation as :Translation?consists?in?reproducing?in?the?receptor?language?the?closest?natural quivalence?of?the?source?language,?first?in?terms?of?meaning?and?secondly?in? terms? of?style.(翻译,?是在
