lationship  between  zero  translation  and  translation  and  the relationship between zero translation and the translators as well? This  thesis  plans  to  adopt  the  following  methods  to  do  the  studies.  Firstly, literature  review  will  be  done  to  understand  the  origin  and  development  of  zero translation  completely.  Secondly,  this  thesis  will  adopt  descriptive  study  to  make  a detailed analysis of the classification of zero translation. Thirdly, deductive method is used to find out the essence of zero translation. Last but not least, this thesis will adopt inductive method to find out the relationship of zero translation to other closely related concepts.

Chapter 2   Origin and Development of Zero Translation 

2.1 The origin of zero translation
The term Zero Translation was first used in Professor Du Zhengming’s paper “A Socio-Linguistic and Intercultural Perspective on Free, Literal, and Zero-Translation” in  2000.  Professor  Du  (2000)  uses  this  term  to  translate  Buyi  (不译)  and  he  covers transliteration and the  transferring of  the source language without any  change. In Du’s (2000) opinion, zero translation is a kind of translation strategy which can be paralleled with  free  translation  and  literal  translation,  and  it  is  not  because  one  is  not  able  to translate but he actively chooses not to translate after comparison of its effect with that of  translating.  In  2001,  Professor  Qiu  Maoru  issued  this  paper  “Translatability”  and Zero Translation, and used the Chinese term Ling  Fanyi  (零翻译,  “Zero  Translation” in  English)，and  from  then  on,  this  topic  officially  entered  the  research  scope  of translation  scholars  in  China. With different Chinese counterparts, zero translation has seemed to have the potential of causing confusion since its birth.

2.2 The development of zero translation
When  the  concept  zero  translation  emerged,  Jia  Ying  (2002)  wrote  a  paper indicating  that  untranslatabililty  should  be  admitted  instead  of  bringing  up  zero translation  to  maintain  the  rationality  of  translatability  because  untranslatability  is caused by incommensurability between different languages and cultures. This idea has denied the conceptual rationale of zero translation from the philosophical level. At the same  time  on  the  basis  of  identifying  with  and  adopting  Qiu’s  zero  translation,  Liu Mingdong (2002) divides it into absolute zero translation and relative zero translation with  eight  specific  means.  Specifically,  absolute  zero  translation  conta本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
