This book aims to strengthen the link between applied translation theory and practice by elucidating translation principles, strategies, and techniques within a unified theoretical framework.

The author encapsulates the development of translation studies and its terminological system into a tripartite structure that unifies the study of translation through macro, meso, and micro approaches. The macro approach examines trends in translation studies, the meso approach focuses on translation strategies, and the micro approach explores the rationale and characteristics of translation skills. Meticulously structured and clear, this book offers both ideological guidance and methodological explication. It combines theoretical exposition with professional analysis, providing a profound and engaging perspective that bridges theory and practice.

This title will serve as an invaluable reference for translation practitioners, researchers, and students of translation studies and interpreting theory and practice.
