Translation has thus always been essential in bridging the social and cultural gap between Chinese and Western civilizations. Translation in Hong Past, Present and Future tries to assess the role played by this academic discipline at different historical periods and to articulate the issues that confront its future development. This is one of the most complete if not the best coverage on the subject, written by notable scholars and practitioners in the field.
