ABSTRACT
Xu Jun (as Xu below): The delegates from Japan, South Korea, India, and Arabic Countries attended the Asian Translator’s Forum in Beijing. They discussed the main translation issues, including the function of translation in ideological and cultural communication, theoretical research on translation, and translation strategies in modern society, among others. Today, I feel grateful to have this opportunity to ask you some questions on translation. The first question is about the function of translation. Nowadays, some people have a prejudice against translation. They think that translation is easy, and look down upon it. What do you think of this view?
