翻译其实是一件吃力不讨好的事,因为一种语言在另一种语言中的对应物藏在往往隐藏在深不可测之处,翻译者需要百般寻觅,而且,挑剔的读者很难糊弄。fān yì qí shí shì yī jiàn chī lì bù tǎo hǎo de shì, yīn wèi yī zhǒng yǔ yán zài lìng yī zhǒng yǔ yán zhōng de duì yìng wù cáng zài wǎng wǎng yǐn cáng zài shēn bù kě cè zhī chù, fān yì zhě xū yào bǎi bān xún mì, ér qiě, tiāo tī de dú zhě hěn nán hù nòng。

In reality, translation is akin to working for peanuts, since the corresponding meaning of something in one language is often hidden in some deep and impenetrable recesses of the other. As a result, the translator is forced to search all over... Never mind that the picky reader is very difficult to fool.
