【正确答案】 1、正确答案： Fidelity and freedom have traditionally been regarded as conflicting tendencies in the field of translation. Fidelity means the translation work should be faithful to the original one both in the meaning and form, which is the most essential of all with no doubt, while freedom means the translation work is free from the original form, style and constructure, only pursuing the similarity in spirit to the original and appearing more natural. But in practice, requiring a translation to be both fluent and exact, fidelity and freedom are usually complementary although they seem to be superficially opposite, therefore, translators should adopt interstrategies flexibly in the actual translation.
