On the process of Translation Nida’s four-phase process of translation (2001) (1) analysis of the source text, (procedure of determining the meaning of the source text, including the meaning of lexeme, syntax, rhetorical devices, discourse, etc. (2)transfer from source to target language, (Transfer involves the shifting of thinking from the SL to TL.) (3)restructuring in the target language, (Restructuring means transformation of deep structures in the SLT into surface structures in the TLT.) (4)revision (Test is a contrastive analysis of the SLT with The TLT in terms of meaning. Peter Newmark’s three basic translation processes (2001) The first is comprehension of the source text; the second comprises the translation procedures, which may be direct, or on the basis of SL and TL corresponding syntactic structures, or through an underlying logical inter-language; the third is reformulation. The process of translation is roughly divided into three steps: 1. comprehension of the SLT; 2. reproduction of SLT in TLT; 3. revision.   Step one: to understand Step two: to express Step three: to polish or proofread 理解 comprehension 阅读原文（三遍）： 第一遍： 浅尝，把握全文大意；（对以疑难词句按层次做圈点） 第二遍： 细嚼，既要咬文嚼字，又要细心揣摩，避免望文生义；（逐词逐句逐段地答疑解惑） 第三遍： 通吃，将全文精神融会于心，既要通读全文，又要落实词义、句义和段义。 理解过程要做到逢山开路，遇水架桥。 1. Comprehension of the SLT a. Macrocomprehension of the SLT comprises a good understanding of such important aspects as the text type, the background or setting, the writing style, the topic category, the theme, the writer’s intention or purpose of the SLT. b. Microcomprehension of the SLT Microcomprehension of the SLT includes a correct understanding of the
