Chinese to English: The author - reader relationship General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Chinese “文學”並不一定是客觀的，一名成功的文學家能在自己的文學作品中，展現自己對於文學的主觀看法，抒發自己的情緒和感觸，但藉由嘗試建立一個「客觀的標準」，有時對能幫助作家了解「讀者的感受」以求將內心之情感與藝術表現完整的體現在讀者心中。
Translation - English Literature in no way has to be objective, a successful author can express their own subjective literary opinions within their work, and describe their own moods and emotions. Yet sometimes in order to fully impart the author's innermost emotions and artistic design in the reader's mind an attempt to establish an "objective standard" can help the author understand the reader's experience.
