摘　　要：J. C. Catford is a world-renowned British linguist and translation theorist, and also an outstanding representative of the linguistic school of translation. His famous work A linguistic theory of translation was first published by Oxford University Press in 1965, and republished in 1967. It was among the list of the series of language and linguistic studies of Oxford University. This essay attempts to interpret this great book in five aspects, namely, definition of translation, types of translation, translation equivalence, transference, and limits of translatability, and tries to probe into the positive impact of its theories on the development of translation theory and its limitations.卡特福德（J．C．Catford）是英国着名的语言学家和翻译理论家，也是翻译的语言学派的杰出代表。他着名的《翻译的语言学理论》一书于1965年由牛津大学出版社出版，1967年再版，并被列为牛津大学语言与语言学习丛书。本文试图从翻译的定义、翻译的分类、翻译的等值、转移、可译性限度等五个方面来解读这一着作，并试图窥探其对翻译理论发展的积极作用和局限性。
