Translatable or Untranslatable
Cao Shun-fa · 2004
All translators know that, however hard they try, it is impossible t o achieve complete truthfulness, the reason being that there are barriers of eve ry kind during the transformation from one language to the other. Yet it is not right to regard whatever hard to render as untranslatable just because of those barriers. This paper intends to prove that some examples labeled as “untranslat able”are in fact “translatable”, some of which can even be further improved.
