Since 2020, in addition to his translation work, Sung Ying-tang has been invited by Books.com.tw's OKAPI "Life in Translation" section to publish a monthly column.
The column's theme is his insights and experiences in translation, which have been well-received since their launch, accumulating nearly 150,000 views. This book is based on these popular column articles,
along with new chapters and paragraphs written by the author specifically for this book, to generously share his observations and reflections from over 30 years in the field of translation.
The book is divided into four parts: "The Author is Dead?! How Translators, as 'Mediums,' Interpret (Communicate with) and Convey (Spirit)," "The Translator's Crime and Punishment,"
"Remember, Translators Have Few Wishes, But the World Has Many Languages," and "A Realistic Portrayal of the Workplace in the World of 'Translation'." These sections respectively discuss how translators should interpret works and establish their own positioning;
the chaos witnessed in the "translation world" during his career; how to step out of the comfort zone of "Chinese" and "English" thinking when encountering multi-language and multi-cultural conversions,
to wield the art of translation with a broader perspective; and, of course, sharing practical battle strategies and experiences from the translation industry with readers.
