Chapter 5 Conclusions
5.5 The Title of this Research
As a part of the research title, the word “translator” is translated into Chinese as fanyijia (翻譯家) instead of yije (譯者). The character “家” (pronounced jia) has a wide range of
meanings. When used as a suffix, it indicates a person whom should be respected. Examples include ‘專家’ [expert] and ‘名家’ [renowned artist or scholar]. Although fanyijia refers mostly to those who have carved out a reputation as literary translators, I have adopted it in honor of Jackson Tan and Nan-Chung Young for their outstanding contributions to Taiwan’s history. This is all thanks to the two translator-reporters’ introduction of a wide array of Western and Japanese narratives of Formosa to society through translation.
