Abstract

Relevance theory is put forward by the scholars Sperber & Wilson and it is the foundation of cognitive linguistics. In the process of translation, both two kinds of language which has relevance depends on the two factors: one is contextual efforts; the other is processing efforts. Translators need to find the maximum relevance for the best communicative efficacy. Professor Zhang Yanchun noted relevance theory that the validity of translation is reached on the condition whether it has embodied communicators' intentions and satisfied acceptors' expectation or not. And the so-called successful translation refers to the validity of translation.
