Clarifications and Scrutinization: Theoretical Studies at the Meso-level of Eco-Translatology

Eco-Translatology, an indigenous theoretical discourse system, has received many favorable affirmations and commendations as well as a few disputes and doubts during its development over the past two decades.Among various discussions and comments, however, a few reviewers misunderstood some key concepts and misinterpreted the connotations of Eco-Translatology.This paper explains the theoretical studies at the meso-level of Eco-Translatology, aiming to respond to Wang Jian’s critical appraisal by clarifying misunderstandings, identifying misreadings, and taking in rational views.The authors believe that the clarifications will help better understand Eco-Translagology and further promote the healthy development of the theoretical discourse system of eco-translation studies that originated from China.
