Literal Translation and Liberal Translation
Practically there are two kinds of translation. One is literal translation and the other is liberal translation. The two methods are both necessary, that’s to say, you may use either of them to do translation work. While, in most cases, both of them should be employed together in order to make the translation FAITHFUL and SMOOTH. Literal translation refers to a representation of the form or work order of the original. Liberal translation, however, does not adhere strictly to the form or word order of the original. We can hardly say which mehtod is better, each has its merits and defects. Some people prefer literal translation and others like biberal translation.
直译与意译
实践中有两种译法，一种是直译，另一种是意译。

两种译法都是必要的，就是说，在翻译中可以使用其中任意一种。

然而，大多数情况下，译者为了使译文做到忠实和通顺，一般综合使用这两种方法。

直译就是遵循原文的形式和词序；而意译则不必遵循原文的形式和语序。

我们很难说哪种方法更好，它们各有利弊。

有的人喜欢直译，而另外的人则偏爱意译。
