Abstract:
Despite various viewpoints about the criteria of translation at home and abroad, the criteria of faithfulness are always popularly accepted by most scholars, and are regarded as the first responsibility to a translator. Based on the previous research, this article firstly analyses some reasons affecting the realization of faithfulness from the objective and the subjective. Objective factors primarily include differences in pronunciation and lexis in language system and thinking patterns between Chinese and English. Subjective factors mainly mention the translator for his different personal cultural qualities, understandings of the original work and so on, and the reader for diverse tastes. Then the article explains that: on the one hand, translators can be faithful to meanings expressed in the original text, here; translators should pass on true thoughts and emotions, logic relation and the culture atmosphere; on the other hand, styles, especially figures of speech, used in the original work also should be expressed faithfully. So on many occasions, translators only can try his best to obtain the relative faithfulness to a certain extent but not absolute faithfulness. Only in this way, faithfulness in translation can be further obtained; and the original author’s similar feelings can be conveyed to readers as soon as possible.
Key words: the criteria of translation; the criteria of faithfulness; faithfulness in meaning; faithfulness in writing styles
摘 要：
纵观国内外，英语论文范文，对于翻译标准的观点有很多，然而翻译的忠实性准则这一标准为众多学者所认同，并将其视为译者的第一要务。本文在借鉴前人的基础上，首先从主客观两个方面来略论了作用忠实性准则实现的因素。客观因素主要涉及中英语言系统中发音和词汇的异同以及中英思维方式的不同；主观因素主要是译者不同的个人文化素养、对原著的感受等和读者本身不同的需求。其次略论了在一定程度上译者可以实现忠实于原文所表达的意义，即传达正确的思想感情、逻辑联系、文化氛围；忠实于原文的风格，英语论文题目，尤其是修辞手段。因此，虽然在很多情况下绝对忠实是不可能的，但是译者仍然能够在一定限度内实现相对忠实。只有注意到以上这些，译者才能在最大限度内实现翻译的忠实性，向读者传达原作者的感受。

1 Introduction
Translation is a language activity that transfers the meaning of one language into another language. It is the expression in another language of what has been expressed in source language, preserving semantic and stylistic equivalences. The need for communication and exchanges between geographically and chronologically different human communities leads to the activities of translation. With the development of globalization，translation has already been an important and influential part of human civilization.
