Fidelity and expressiveness are the two key prerequisites for the translation of legal documents. Accurately and idiomatically rendering the original source-language information into the target language is the liability and responsibility of a translator undertaking the legal documents’ translation. However, the official English translation of The Law of the People’s Republic of China on Enterprise Bankruptcy, published by the China Legal Publishing House, does not seem to adhere to the aforementioned essential criteria, fidelity and expressiveness, for the English version of this law contains many problems such as misspelled and misprinted letters and words, unidiomatic expressions, incorrect grammar and awkward sentence structures, overtranslation and undertranslation, and others, ostensibly because the translator lacks a sense of responsibility, has poor English writing skills, and is ignorant of legal jargon. The appearance of all of these problems in the English translation of this law undermines the effects of the global publicity of the original law’s content, which is of worldwide significance. The author of this article therefore believes that the original law deserves a better, more accurate English translation.
