Abstract：There are various translation standards and models due to diverse culture

background， “textual grids” and readers’ requirements. The Jerome model and the Horace model

made a great influence on translation theory and practice. Both of them stick to the criteria of

“Faithfulness”， but they emphasize on different aspects.

At the end of 18 century， Jerome model and Horace model are the most distinctive translation

models. Both of them emphasize on “faithfulness” and “equivalence” and follow the different

approaches to different translation practices. However， the Jerome model attaches more importance

on the word-for–word equivalence to translation， while the Horace model gives more emphasize on

the “negotiation” between the source text and the target language. According to the aim and type of

translation， translators can choose different translation model.

II. Outline of the Jerome model and the Horace model

Jerome Model

Jerome model was the most systematic translation model in the ancient times， which focuses on

“faithfulness” as much as possible. In other words， one should try their best to translate the source

text with extremist faithful into the target language. According to this principle， a good dictionary is

necessary. If a poor translation occurred， people usually blame the translator’s inadequate use of

dictionary， though the translator who follows the Jerome model may have a feeling of guilt or even

frustration for his poor translation. As Bassnett and Lefevere （2001） pointed out that “the ideal

continued to haunt translators and those who taught about translation over the centuries. Since it could

be realized， de facto compromises were necessary， which were， of course， entered into，

although at the double price of interminable wrangling about precisely how ‘faithful’ faithfulness

should be， or what could really be termed an ‘equivalence’ of what and， more importantly， of

generating a perennial feeling of guilt in translation and of permanently marginalizing them in society

as necessary at others.” （Bassnett & Lefevere， 2001：2） they believe that such strict faithfulness

is useless due to lack of context.
