Abstract:

The Dancer and the Dance is a collection of thirteen essays in translation
studies. Unlike many similar collections that have appeared in the past
decades, it is the product of theory integrated with practice; in it, the
authors have steered clear of theorizing in a vacuum, making sure that their
findings tally with what actually happens in translation; there is no attempt
at putting forward hypotheses based on mere speculation. As translation
theorists and/or translators whose specialties cover translation studies,
linguistics, cultural studies, computer-aided translation, Chinese literature,
English literature, comparative literature, and creative writing, the thirteen
authors have taken up the challenge of unravelling the mystery of what, in I.
A. Richards’s words, “may very probably be the most complex type of event yet
produced in the evolution of the cosmos.” Impossible as the task may have
seemed, they have all succeeded, each in his/her own way, in tracing out many
warp and weft threads, as well as hitherto undiscovered patterns in the vast,
gorgeous, and mysterious tapestry woven by God after Babel.
