Formal Equivalence 形式对等 Foreginization 异化 Domestication 归化 Formal Equivalence 形式对等 Dynamic Equivalence 动态对等 Functional Equivalence 功能对等 Domestication is the strategy of making text closely conform to the culture of the language being translated to, which may involve the loss of information from the source text. Foreignization is the strategy of retaining information from the source text, and involves deliberately breaking the conventions of the target language to preserve its meaning. 奈达理论的核心概念是“功能对等”。所谓“功能对等”，就是说翻译时不求文字表面的死板对应，而要在两种语言间达成功能上的对等。当代翻译理论之父。

Intellect n. 智力；理解力 知识分子；思维逻辑领悟力；智商高的人 这不单单是我们担心婴儿的智力可能还没高到这个 程度，而是因为我们能够更好地解释这是怎么回事。 （异化） 不仅因为我们知道婴儿的理解水平尚且无法领会我 们的说教，而是因为我们更清楚地明白婴儿为什么 会这样。(归化）
