“翻译”与“translate”的语义谱系有着根本不同之处：前者的本义是语官及其解释活动，具有明显的人文特征；后者的本义则是物体搬移行为，具有明显的物化特征。两词的语义谱系不同，决定了各自理论发展形态有别，证明了中西翻译学自然而然地有着不同的研究重心和研究取向。因此，中国学人强求与西人苟同乃是不智之举，不利于中国翻译学的长足发展。

It is well known to the translators that an English word does not have a precise equivalent in Chinese. The writers of this paper, therefore, first criticize the cognitive misinterpretations in the western-influenced Chinese translation circle in relation to the kernel term of translation. It is further argued that the Chinese word of fanyi（translation） is man-based in origin while English word of translation is material or object-based. The contrastive semantic categories of the words result in the different orientations that can hardly be intermingled. So it is concluded that the starting point of translation is the differentiation of nature of what seems identical.
