Abstract

With the in-depth implementation of reform and opening-up policy in China, the need for notarial translation is continuously on a rise. However, due to lack of unified standards, the quality of notarial translation is raising concerns in translation circle. Against such a background, this paper attempts to discuss and explore the proper methods of notarial translation under Nida’s functional equivalence theory based on the authors’ translation practice, with an aim to shed some lights on normalization of standards of notarial translation in China.
