1.This translation criterion was put forward by Mr. Lu Xun, a great master of Chinese literature. We can not simply understand it as a criterion of seeking “faithfulness” without regard to the fluency and smoothness of the translated text. Lu Xun put forward the translation criterion in light of the viewpoint of scholars such as Liang Shiqiu and Zhao Jingshen at that time that “it is better to make mistakes and do things smoothly”. Lu Xun has his own opinions on “not conforming” and “not conforming” does not mean to translate “Tianhe” into “Milk Road”. Lu Xun holds that “translation must take into account both sides, on the one hand, of course, to strive for its easy solution, on the other hand, to preserve the original style.” In order to translate articles well, we should not only have a solid foundation in foreign languages, but also learn the customs and cultural history of the countries where foreign languages are used, so that literal translation and free translation can complement each other, blend with each other, penetrate each other and complement each other.
2.鲁迅提出的翻译标准在中国翻译史上给人们留下的印象较深,但影响却不是很大,问题在于鲁迅先生对“信”与“顺”的关系没能阐释得令人折服。
3.Lu Xun’s translation criteria have left a deep impression on Chinese translation history, but their influence is not very great. The problem is that Mr. Lu Xun failed to explain the relationship between “faithfulness” and “smoothness”.
