Abstract
The nucleus of translating is defined as those elements in the source-language text (SLT) which, when mishandled, most seriously affect pragmatic equivalence. Given that each SLT has its own unique purpose, the nucleus of translating will vary from text to text. To illustrate the significance of the nucleus in the achievement of translation equivalence, a sample text in English is introduced, and the translation of the nucleus -in that particular case the title, the nominal and pronominal markers- into Standard Modern Chinese is studied. It is also argued here that using the nucleus as a teaching device introduces objectivity, efficiency, and practicality into the educational process. In sum, in both the training of translators and assessment of translation quality, the nucleus is a concept that should receive central attention.
