Major Translation Approaches 主要翻译方法探析 Major Translation Approaches There are two main translation approaches, one is called literal translation and another liberal translation. Literal Translation Approach Literal translation is also called direct translation or close translation. Using this method, the image, figure of speech, word order, grammatical structure, etc. of the source language are maintained in the target language. Literal Translation Approach 直译者认为，译文应尽力复制原文的 语言、形式，因为表达形式反映了表达内 容，形式的改变意味着意义的改变。 只有保留原文的形式，才能忠实地表 达原文的思想内容。 Literal Translation Approach As long as the original meaning is not Impaired (被损坏的), it is essential to give priority to literal translation. Using Chinese, the principle is “能直译则直译”.
