A General Rhetorical Interpretation of Sentence Translation

Abstract: Rhetoric in language, like air, is ubiquitous. It is not only presented in the form of narrow rhetoric (rhetorical devices), but from a broad rhetorical perspective, rhetoric is also implicit in all sentences, inherently encompassing the domain of narrow rhetoric. This article starts with rhetorical devices, explains the source language and target language in a broad sense of rhetoric, explores the connection between the two, analyzes the process of sentence translation from a broad rhetorical perspective, and proposes dynamic principles for measuring the quality of sentence translation.
