    • 本論文著重討論筆譯活動(translation)中的直譯(literal translation)與意譯(free translation)，作者首先提出各學者對直/意譯之看法，並討論此二概念於中國地區之發展、分析直/意譯策略之學習對作者的翻譯有何影響。此外作者也分析影響中翻英之種種因素，及譯者如何於筆譯之信(accuracy)與達(readability)間取得平衡。作者最後討論自己的筆譯方法及策略，並提出作者取捨這些翻譯方式的原因，翻譯原稿為蘇起之著作。

    This paper discusses free and literal translation, how the debate between proponents of the two philosophies developed in China, and how my study of both types of translation has influenced my work as a translator. I discuss factors that influence Chinese to English translation and how translators can strike a balance between accuracy and readability in their translations. Finally, I explain my personal approach to translation and why I use this approach. I use Su Chi’s book On the Brink as an example.
