( as brave as a lion, as strong as a horse, live a dog's life, a cat woman etc.) ( Figures of speech are different.)Step 2 Read the textbook and discuss the questions put forward by the teacher.Questions for discussion:1. What are the principles of translation?1) George Campbell, the English translator^sprinciple:The first thing...is to give a just representation of the sense of the original... The second thing is, to convey into his version, as much as possible, in a consistency with the genius of the language which he writes, the author's spirit and manner ... The third and last thing is, to take care, the version have at least, so far the quality of an original performance, as to appear natural and easy.（首先，准确地再现原作的意思；第二，在符合译作语言特征的前提 下，尽可能地移植作者的精神和风格；第三，也是最后，使译作至少具 有原创作品的特性，显得自然流畅。

2）Alexander F. Tylefs principle:a. That the translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work.b. That the style and manner of writing should be of the same character with that of the original.c. That the translation should have all the ease of original composition.（一、译作应完全复写出原作的思想；二、译作的风格和手法应和原 作属于同一性质；三、译作应具备原创作品的通顺他们都以“忠实”为大前提，要求译文从三个方面中忠实于原作： 一是忠实地传达原作的内容，二是忠实地展示原作的风格，三是忠实地 体现原创作品的通顺3）Yan Fu's principle on translation:The so-call principles and criteria of translation are actually the two sides of the same thing. The former lays emphasis on the translator, who should follow them while translating; while the latter on the reader or critic, who may use the criteria to evaluate translation works. Whenever principles or criteria of translation are under discussion in China, Yan Fu's “three-character guide", which was first proposed in 1898, would evoke controversy, namely the principle of “faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance".“信”：严复认为译文应该抓住全文要旨，对于词句可以有所颠倒增 删，只要不失愿意，不必斤斤计较词句的对应和顺序。

达”：严复认为达很重要只信而不达，译了等于没译只有做到 达，才能做到信要做到达，译者必须首先认真通读全文，做到融会贯 通，然后进行翻译为了表达愿意，可以在词句方面作必要的调整改动雅”：严复认为译文要雅，否则没有人看雅主要是指古雅，要采 用汉代以前使用的古文对此很多人有不同看法，不能脱离原文片面追 求雅，如果原文不雅，译文怎么能雅？况且，严复主张的是古雅，即用 顾问进行翻译，这是不可取的目前我国通用的翻译标准就是准确（或叫忠实）和通顺（或叫流畅） 实际上就是信与达的翻版因此我们说严复的翻译标还仍然适用4） Fan Zhongyan （author of another translation textbook）, Chinese translator's principle:Translation is a bridge in communicating in different languages. Its task is to put the content and the style in the source language into the target language and keep the original meanings so that the readers can get the same feelings of the content as the natives. If their understanding and feeling are the same （the original readers and the target language readers）, the translation is good.（从翻译效果，也就是以译文读者得到的感受如何来衡量一篇译文的好 坏，这就是翻译标准。

He puts forward the highest and lowest criterIsanslation, which are as follows:The highest standard: To make the readers of the target language have the same feeling as those of the original works. That is t。
