Reading Task: Preface and To the Reader
Summary of the Content: The preface briefly introduces partial content, usage and application of the book. To the Reader expresses the author's expectations towards readers and book itself. It explains the sources of the examples in the book and gives a brief introduction of herself.
Evaluation: The language of the writers is concise and to the point, with a clear logic.
Reflection: I was astonished that I had already acquire some knowledge about translation just from a short preface. For instance, better translation often employs more verbs and words with specific meanings. This aroused my interest in this book and made me look forward to the changes it would bring about to me. In addition, I had a more accurate understanding of Chinglish and translation.
