Eugene A. Nida and His Theories of Translation,英语翻译学论文 Eugene A. Nida and His Theories of TranslationAbstractT he introduction of the background of Eugene Nida give a better understanding to the readers and let us know his works. As yet there is no theory of translation in the technical sense of “a coherent set of general propositions used as principles to explain a class of phenomena,” but his theories of translation are stated in terms of how to produce an acceptable translation. So we can translate based on his principle of functional equivalence. It　is　widely　acknowledged　that　translation　aims　to　achieve　both　formal　equivalence　of　 　(content-oriented　and　form-oriented)　factors　and　functional　equivalence　of　extratextal　(situational　and,　above　all,　recipient　-oriented)　factors. From this passage, we can also know some other translators besides Eugene A. Nida.Key words: Eugene A.

He began studying Latin in high school and was already looking forward to being able to translate Scripture as a missionary. By the time he received his Bachelor抯 degree in 1936 from the University of California at Los Angeles, he was well on his way. Having earned his degree in Greek, summa cum laude, he enrolled in the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) and discovered the works of such linguists as Edward Sapir and Leonard Bloomfield. Nida then pursued a Masters degree in Greek New Testament at the University of Southern California. In 1941 he began a Ph.D. in Ling
