Abstract

Abstract

This paper discusses the application of the transitivity theory of the systemic-functional linguistics in the translation criticism.Through the transitivity analysis of a source text A Small Incident (Event) and its two translation versions, it demonstrates that a more objective and systematic translation criticism can be obtained with the application of the transitivity theory.The research also shows that a closer adherence to the original transitivity process pattern is an effective way in reproducing the power and effect of the source text.
