On the surface level,translation is a process where the conversion of one language to another takes place,yet the capacity of language to represent is not intrinsic,but is derived from the intentionality of the mind.The language a linguistic form belongs to and the meaning it involves are the outcome of a subject’s intentionality directed at an object.Meanwhile,as one of the key approaches to interlingual and intercultural communication,translating is a social activity,concerning at least three subjects,including the writer,the translator and the readers of translated works.The intentionality of these subjects influences each other and comprises a network of interaction,so that the translating activity turns out to be a process in which the intentionality of the subjects strikes a balance and gets realized.
