This volume of selected papers covers some of the major issues emerging from the latest developments in translation studies (including interpreting, in a broader sense), such as translation theories, translation technology, literary translation, and the translator’s education and certification. As a human activity that dates back to the very beginnings of civilization, translation has witnessed a phenomenal growth both in industry and in academia. The publisher hopes to reveal, as showcased in this book, that the field of translation studies has developed into a diverse discipline encompassing a wide variety of approaches, methods, and perspectives.

本書收錄多篇翻譯研究論文，集結翻譯名家余光中、國際知名翻譯學者Lawrence Venuti、Valerie Pellatt、陳善偉等作者，主題涵蓋翻譯理論、翻譯科技、文學翻譯、及譯者教育與認證。翻譯本身是極為古老的人類活動，翻譯的專業化則是相當晚近的趨勢，然而在研究深度和廣度、乃至實務層面的探討，都在近年有急速的發展，全球翻譯界皆然。本書希望呈現翻譯研究領域在現今的多樣化面貌：不論是研究策略、方法、亦或分析角度，翻譯學門的不斷擴展值得翻譯研究者和從業人員持續關注。

作者簡介：

The Language Training & Testing Center (LTTC)

The LTTC, since its establishment in 1951, has been highly regarded by the public for providing quality teaching and testing of languages such as English, Japanese, French, German, and Spanish. In response to the increasing global significance of the Chinese language, the LTTC has recently added a new focus—the teaching and testing of Chinese-English translation/interpretation. This volume represents part of the LTTC’s efforts to promote this growing field in Taiwan.
