摘要
This essay is based on the author's experience of translating three major economic/philosophical texts from French into English: Alain Finkielkraut's La Defaite de la pensee (The Undoing of Thought), Benjamin Constant's Principes de politique (Principles of Politics) and the work of Frederic Bastiat. It explores the difficulties of translating economic language from French into English both in the eighteenth and the twentieth century and compares the different challenges it brings.
