【内容简介】

上个世纪迄今的翻译研究尽管硕果累累，对译者的研究也取得了诸多成果，但这些研究更多地侧重于学术视角（如译者主体性、主体间性等），而对译者在实际的翻译市场中怎么做，译界的关注程度似乎不足。但《译者实用指南（第4修订版）》则针对这一状况，以翻译市场为宏观背景，给译者提供了极其珍贵的指导，填补了这方面的空白。《译者实用指南（第4修订版）》自1993年首次出版以来，到2004年5月已是第四版，是作者多年来实践经验的结晶。十多年来，《译者实用指南（第4修订版）》受到了读者的普遍欢迎。《译者实用指南（第4修订版）》在前三版的基础上，紧跟时代发展，站在一个全新的角度，旨在给那些没有或很少有商业经验的翻译从业者提供全面指导，例如译者所需具备的资格、如何创办翻译公司、译者的工作环境、怎样索要报酬等等。《译者实用指南（第4修订版）》内容充实，注重实用，确实值得一读。
