On the importance and construction of discourse power for translators

It is an inarguable fact that translators are lacking in discourse power,which is mainly embodied in their lack of initiative in choosing translation materials,their method being constrained by mainstream thoughts,and their lack of innovation in the research in translation theory.This can be attributed to the superiority of the original works,of the original writers,of translation theories at home and abroad,as well as of the mainstream ideology.This paper expounds the importance of translators’ discourse power,analyzes the causes of their lack of discourse power,and explores methods of constructing their discourse power in the realm of translation.
