As a continual topic in recent years, "violence of translation" has never stopped evoking controversies in the field of translation which reflects confusions and bottlenecks existing in the current translation researches. This paper argues that translation is a process which represents a bilingual and bicultural cognitive and transferring activity under a particular period of history of a certain society. The essence of translation is to narrow the gap of the internal and external estrangements between different nations, and the possibility of translation is based on the universality and commonality of human physiological and psychological mechanism. We can easily find the intersection and complementation, which obviously exist in translation, between languages and ways of thinking. "Violence of translation" has simply twisted the possibility and rationality of translation, has discorded with people's natural thinking modes and moral regulations, and will probably result in a negative tendency of translation research in the future. The idea of "violence" is just the biggest misreading for translation and may do no good for disclosing its natural law since it takes translation for the production of mistakes instead of their avoidance. This paper makes an analysis of "violence of translation" from the perspectives of historical experience, ideological discourses and the essence of intertextuality to reflect on the subjectivity in the cultural turn of translation research.
