Different writers understand the connotations of subjectivity from different angles. 　　In Fang Mengzhis (2004：83) point of view， the translators subjectivity refers to the essential idiosyncrasy of translators in translation activity， that is to say， the translating subject plays his or her dynamic role in manipulating or transferring the original text―the object. Zha Mingjian and Tian Yu (2003：20) think that the translator’s subjectivity means the subjective dynamics of the translating subject. 　　To sum up， the translator， as the subject of translation， has her/his own subjectivity， which is the externalization of human beings essential characteristics in the activities toward the objective world， and is the special quality with which the subject actively changes， influences and controls the object and then makes the object serve itself. 　　In effect， the translators subjectivity is manifested in the whole process of translating. During this process the translator must give full play of her/his creativity so as to achieve the translation goals， while s/he suffers a lot of restrictionstoo. We emphasize the translators subjectivity and study his/her creativity， but we dont approve that the translators can exert their subjectivity
