The Differences Between Machine Translation and Human Translation from The Perspective of Literary Texts*

The translation industry has developed rapidly and has been got more and more attention. This research studies the differences between machine translation and human translation from the perspective of literary texts, and provides an in-depth understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of machine translation and human translation. Through literature method, induction method and empirical method, it is found that human translation is more flexible and dynamic, while machine translation is less capable of identifying grammatical and logical errors, etc., and is more programmed compared to human translation. In view of this, we acknowledge that machine translation will take up more translation tasks, but it will not completely replace human translation.
