‘This new edition of Translation is particularly welcome. Key elements of the first edition, including the overall structure, are retained, but much new material is included, bringing the discussion of both theoretical and more practical issues right up to date. Over the years, my students from BA to PhD level have found this an extremely useful and stimulating book. This new edition will be equally useful.’James Dickins, University of Leeds, UK‘Accessible and interesting, this resource book by two leading scholars of translation studies provides an easy introduction to the key concepts and issues in translation studies while encouraging reflection, application and critique, and this timely updated edition incorporating new developments in the discipline should appeal to graduate students and translation teachers alike.’Defeng Li, University of Macau, China
