直译、意译为翻译中的两种基本方法。一般而言,能直译时尽量直译,不能直译时则意译。不同形式的意译必然对原文中的词语、句序或修辞作出不同的变通处理,表现为意译的灵活性,但灵活性一旦过了头,则成为胡译、乱译。 Literal translation and free translation are two basic methods in translation. In general, literal translations are possible when translating literally, and translating when literal translation is not possible. Different forms of free translation will inevitably make different modifications to the words, sentences, or rhetoric in the original text. This is reflected in the flexibility of free translation. However, once flexibility has passed, it will become Hu translation and random translation.
