2typesoftranslators:

1,Dolmetscher:

2,Ubersetzer:

2translationmethods:

1,translatorleavesthereaderinpeace,asmuchaspossible,andmovestheauthortowardshim.Alienatingmethod归化

2,translatorleavesthewriteralone,asmuchaspossible,andmovesthereadertowardsthewriter.

Naturalizingmethod异化

（异化派的观点归纳起来，其主要理由有三：

1．有必要让译文读者了解异国文化；2．译者应相信读者的智力和想象力能理解异国文化的特异之处；3．异国文化可以丰富目的语文化和目的语表达方式。
