Abstract

A properly developed translation criticism holds the key to a healthy growth of Translation Studies as a whole. Yet for quite some time, translation criticism in China remains in a state of languor, and critics often turn a blind eye to major problems in the practice. A principal reason for this situation is the lack of a space for vigorous and effective criticism. For there to be such a space, it is necessary that sufficient authorization is granted to translation critics, promote a critical spirit among general practitioners in the discipline and lay down the norms and standards for critical evaluation.
