b. Logical relationship implied in the original (2) They call themselves Englishmen, and they are afraid of fight.
Intensive translation study and exercises stress the quality and efficiency of practice and exercises rather than quantity: It will be more profitable to go all out and translate only a few challenging sentences at a time with each of them adequately done rather than to translate a lengthy text without a single sentence presentable. Adequately done means the Chinese version is made semantically faithful, idiomatically expressive and syntactically sound.

The translation history of China witnessed some high tides of translation activities, and now a new high tide of translation is gaining momentum in China.
