On the Factors Influencing the Perfection of Literary Translation

I. Introduction

Translation is necessary for people to learn the culture and the life of another country, which has been evidenced by the relationship among countries. When we read the history about a country’ development and prosperity, we will find that translation plays an important role in that country. If one country wants to develop rapidly, it needs to absorb good features and nutrition from other countries. Translation has been put in a significant place in the process of communication. For a long time, translation has been simply regarded as the exchange from one language to another language. However, translators and scholars who have made many deep research and study about literary translation, found that translation is not so complex as ordinary people think. In fact, translation is a kind of art, the recreation of language art.

   With the rapid development of economy and cultural exchanges in the world, translation has played an important role in daily life. Literary translation has attracted increasing attention in translation fields, because more and more people have the desire to read more books to improve their ability and to horizon their view on the whole world. What’s more, some people like foreign literature, enjoy the pleasure that is brought by reading and want to know more about foreign culture. So, more people have focused more and more attention on the quality of literary translation. So there are more and more higher demand for literary translation, and discussing the factors of influencing the perfection of literary translation has become significant to all of us, not only to translators.
