The translation of classical Chinese did not have to be exactly the same as in the book. In the translation of classical Chinese, the key was to accurately convey the meaning of the original text. There are many ways and techniques to translate classical Chinese. For example, one could first roughly understand the meaning of a sentence by combining context, life experience, and knowledge accumulation, and then use words such as reservation.(Words that are synonymous from ancient times to the present are retained) Translating a sentence by using modern words to express the meaning of an ancient word, replacing it with modern words, which usually required a certain amount of accumulation, inference (to reasonably infer the meaning of a word based on the general meaning of the word), guessing (to guess the meaning of the word when other methods did not work), complementing the composition (if the sentence had a missing component), adjusting the word order (for sentences with special word order such as inverted sentences), and so on. As long as one could accurately express the meaning, context, and cultural meaning of classical Chinese in modern language, even if it was not exactly the same as the expression in the book, it was still feasible. However, this was not directly related to the English composition. If the English composition involved the translation of classical Chinese, it was more about how to accurately express the meaning of the classical Chinese in English to meet the requirements of the theme, logic, and expression habits of the English composition.

The translation of classical Chinese can be analyzed according to the context. Original text: Now there are villains who say that they must praise Yao and Shun. I don't want to talk with them, so as to leave the shame of future generations. Translator: There are actually villains who call Yao and Shun when they speak. I don't care to talk to them so as not to leave regrets for future generations. This sentence came from the 16th chapter of the Analects of Confucius. The word "villain" in the original text referred to those who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and spoke irresponsibly."Words must be praised by Yao and Shun" referred to these people who liked to exaggerate and think highly of themselves. Translating should be done according to the specific context and tone to avoid translation being too simple or too artistic.
