How to understand that translation is bilingual and bicultural?

Translation is the process of transforming the meaning of one language into another. Because each language and culture has its own unique characteristics and expressions, accurate translation needs to accurately understand the meaning and background of the original text and transform it into the corresponding expressions in the target language.

Therefore, translation is not only a simple language conversion, but also a deep understanding and comparison of the cultural background, thinking mode and expression habits of the two languages to ensure that the translation results conform to the language and cultural habits of the target language.

Translation is bilingual and bicultural, which means that translation not only needs to master the grammar, vocabulary and expressions of the two languages, but also needs to understand the corresponding cultural background, historical background and social habits of the two languages. Only in this way can we accurately understand the meaning and background of the original text, translate it into the corresponding expressions in the target language, and make the translation result conform to the readers' cultural background and language habits.

Therefore, in translation, translators need to have in-depth knowledge of linguistics and culturology, and at the same time, they need to constantly improve their translation skills and experience to ensure the accuracy and quality of translation.
