From the appearance of ethics, it has the similar meaning of morality, but the latter one emphasizes more on the study of human’s behaviors, while the ethics would focus on the discussion of moral ethical norms for individuals and the whole society. As one of the most influential translators in late Qing China, Lin Shu makes his great efforts on introducing western literature and new thoughts to China. Referring to the study of Lin’s translations, it always mixed with praises and criticisms, therefore the “faithfulness” in his translations or not would be the main point to discuss. From the perspective of translation ethics, it is mainly explored the cause of “mistranslation” in Lin Shu’s translated works in late Qing China.
