研讨反思：
通过此次译名堂翻译研讨会，译者更加明确了进行该翻译项目的目的。在三位老师的帮助下，译者确定了部分专业术语、文化负载词、流水句、长句的翻译方法，并将一些不确定的译文提出来与老师们进行沟通，最后一起讨论出了更好的解决方案。
首先，在机构名称的翻译上，比如“与人同善社 在太兴乡”，译者提出TT1“Benevolent Association in Taixing Town”和TT2“Yu Ren Tong Shan She was a charity society in Taixing Town”两个译本。经查证，TT1中的“Benevolent”经常被用来命名国外的慈善机构，但《新都县志》中还会出现“仁和慈善会”、“仁德慈善会”等机构，这些机构名无法在目的语中找到既有译本，因此，为了使全文的机构名译法统一，译者更倾向用拼音的方式音译，这一点也得到了参会老师的认同。与此同时，老师们更建议用“拼音+性质属性”的方式来翻译机构名，如“与人同善社Yu Ren Tong Shan Association”和“仁德慈善会Ren De Charity Society”等。
其次，在讨论如何翻习俗礼仪类的文化负载词时，老师们建议使用“拼音+脚注”的方式来处理，且脚注中还需要出现拼音所对应的中文文化负载词本身，这样做一是为了使译文看起来更加简洁，做到在译本也能保持信息型文本的特点；二是为了目的语读者在查阅脚注时能够快速对应该文化负载词在原文中出现的地方，以免出现文化负载词“拼音+脚注”在译文中出现较多，目的语读者因此感到混淆的情况。
最后，关于中文定语、补语、状语修饰语过长的处理，老师们建议按照中文原文进行翻译，避免过多的删减和译者个人对其进行总结概括。《新都县志》本身承载的时间段就具有中国在不同时期的发展特点和时代性，如果译者按照现代化视角对其进行删减、总结概括式地翻译，会使《新都县志》失去时代特色，也将使译文成为一篇关于新都历史发展的导读性的文章，而不是详细记录新都各方面发展的百科全书。
十分感谢参加此次译名堂翻译研讨会的三位老师，译者在老师的帮助下学到了很多处理翻译问题的方法，也意识到译文中存在的不足之处，这些收获为后续修改译文提供了十分重要的参考价值。
