“Faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance” of Yan Fu and interpretive translation theory of Lederer share similar focuses of attention and theoretical requirements, such as conveying the ideas and meanings of the source texts, and pursuing both faithfulness and adaptability to target language readers. Their difference is also significant, which is mainly because of the distinction between Chinese and western culture. By exploring the similarities and differences of these two translation theories, benign conditions can be generated for translators to better understand different translation theories and rationally use translation theories to guide practice.
