There has been no agreement so far as to what is the ultimate criterion of translation. The shift of our attention from the principle of equivalence to the principle of readers’ response indicates that the source text is no longer the only standard on the basis of which we make a final judgment on the target text. The school of deconstruction advocates that the source text has no absolute meaning and that faithfulness to the source text is impossible. Then arises the question whether translating is rewriting. According to the theory of family resemblance, translating and rewriting fall into the same category and the boundary between them is so fuzzy that they cannot be distinguished. Therefore, a translation cannot be simply measured by the term “faithfulness” or “unfaithfulness”.
