译文翻译8、翻译的作用
在人类历史发展的长河中,在世界多元文化的交流、融会与碰撞中,在中华民族伟大复兴的进程中,翻译始终都起着不可或缺的先导作用。所有的国际活动和语言文化交流都离不开翻译。假如 这世界有一天没有了翻译,联合国将不复存在,世贸组织将无法运行,一切国际机构都会瘫痪。翻译工作者及其工作就像电线里流动的电流、水管里流动的水流:他们默默无闻地把一个语言文化带到另一个语言文化中,使隔膜变成透明。
The Function of Translation
Translation has always played an indispensable role in the long history of human development. It serves as the forerunner in communication, amalgamation, and collision of multiple cultures, as well as in the course of the national rejuvenation of the Chinese people. All international activities and communications of languages and cultures could not be performed without translation. If there were not translation someday, the United Nations would not be able to operate any longer, nor could WTO function well, and all the international organizations would be at a standstill. Translators and their efforts are just like th
at of the current in the electrical wires or the stream in the pipelines: they quietly bring one language and culture into another, clearing up misunderstanding.
