The Oxford English Dictionary: to turn from one language into another B. Webster’s Third New International Dictionary of the English Language: to turn into one’s own or another language C.《辞海》/《汉语大辞典》：把一种语言的文字意义用另一种语言表达出来 可见，翻译是两种语言之间的“转换”活动，而转换的内容是“意义”。 （3）译家的定义 A. 贾公彦（618-907）：译即易，谓换易语言使相解也。（《义疏》） （把一种语言文字换易成另一种语言文字.而并不变更所蕴含的意义,以达到彼此沟通、相互理解的目的） B.刘宓庆：翻译的实质,是双语间意义的对应转换 “
