    • Abstract:
      The article presents the author's reflections on the inherent challenges of translating between languages. Introductory comments are given regarding the etymology of the word "translate," focusing on its connection to a term meaning "to malign." Discussion then moves to criticism of the author's own works translated for publication in other countries, ending with remarks on the impact of translation in understanding religious scriptures such as the "Tao Te Ching" and the Bible.
