Abstract:

For an editor mainly engaged in editing the translations of foreign classics, his or her ultimate goal
is to present readers with high quality publications. To achieve this goal, apart from improving his or her overall
competence，the editor should consult reference books whenever necessary so as to ensure the faithfulness of
the translated works. Feedbacks from the readers should be taken into account before a revised edition comes out.
In addition, good personal relations with translators and due attention to translation contests of all kinds can also
contribute in that these may offer a reliable access to excellent translators.
