结构推理 It is rendering the meaning of a text into another language in the way that the author intended the text. Common sense tells us that this ought to be simple, as one ought to be able to say something as well in one language as in another. On the other hand, you may see it as complicated, artificial and fraudulent, since by using another language you are pretending to be someone you are not. The translation cannot simply reproduce, or be, the original. And since this is so, the first business of the translator is to translate.

【正确答案】翻译,就是像原作者把思想变成文字那样,把一个文本的意思译成另一种语言。常识告诉我们翻译应该是简单的,就如一个人能够用一种语言自如表达,也能够用另一种语言自如表达一样。但从另一方面来说,你也许会觉得翻译是复杂的、做作的以及虚假的,因为在使用另一种语言的时候,你实际上在扮演一个非你的角色。翻译不可能是简单的复制,或者,也不可能是如出一辙的原本。既然如此,译者的第一任务就是翻译。(纽马克)
