Abstract
Two crucial propositions underpin my own thinking about translation, and it is important to reiterate these at the outset. First, we are wrong to allowliterarytranslation— and I emphasize literary translation— to be governed by a translation designed for readers who are ignorant of the source language (SL). My objections to this are fivefold: 1. It endows the translator with too much unquestioned authority.
