Abstract

Translations neglecting the target audience’s cognitive environment will inevitably lead to compromised acceptability of the translated texts. The optimal-relevance is what a translator should always keep in mind in the process of inference and reconstruction. Successful communication depends largely on whether a translator uses the author-intended contextual assumptions in the process of inference and makes some adaptations syntactically and socially. A translator should take relevance as his criterion, target-reader-based adaptation as his method and the author’s intention as his destination to make his translated text more convergent to the original so as to present intelligible texts in line with the target audience’s reading expectations.
