重要概念:

1、translation studies:

(1)、The paper “the name and nature of translation studies” written by James Holmes in 1988, marks the birth of the discipline of TS、

The descriptive branch: product, process, functionoriented

The theoretical branch: general & partial which includes medium, area, rank, text type, time, and problem restricted
