George Steiner is a representative of the hermeneutic School of translation theorists. His monograph on language and translation theory After Babel, published in 1975, is a breakthrough milestone in the history of translation. Focusing on the theories of "translation is understanding" and The Hermeneutic Motion put forward by George Steiner in After Babel, this paper explains Steiner's main translation thoughts, discusses the detailed essence of The Hermeneutic Motion, and makes a critical analysis on this basis.
