Fortunately, general business and legal documents are direct in context and translation is relatively easy to understand. Despite occasional lack of fluency, it has little impact on understanding. In contrast, there are profound cultural and artistic conceptions behind the abbreviated expressions in the classical Chinese language, with the large number of metaphors, often making translators intimidated. Simple translation? Could sound unreasonable. Meticulous translation? Could be too lengthy. Sense-for-sense translation? Loss of Chinese context. Word-for-word translation? Sounds completely nonsense!

Otherwise, it will be a real test on a translator&#8217;s competence whether he\/she can accurately manage to balance between word-for-word and sense-for-sense translation taking into consideration the context and historical background from the perspective of the readers, while \u201cmaintaining the flavour&#8221; at the same time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c11c049 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c11c049\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Here are some more quotes.
