Goethe’s contribution to studies on retranslation is his classification of (re)translations into three epochs, namely domestication, combination of domestication and foreignization, and foreignization. Lu Xun’s is his emphasis on the absolute necessity of retranslating. Their ideas on retranslation have important implications for contemporary retranslation research.
