Abstract


Willard Aumann Quinn (1908-2000) was a famous American philosopher and logician. His many achievements in the analysis of the field of philosophy, philosophy of language and logic. Especially in the philosophy of language, in the 1960s, Quinn through monograph words and objects known as the \with the development of contemporary Western philosophy and linguistics. However, due to the translation of Quinn uncertainty theory itself is very abstract and difficult, while the lack of argument from the practice and practical guidance has been domestic for Quinn translation theory Translation is very little research in this area more is who cares rare. However, we should see that this theory still has its universal significance and positive significance, even on today, is still worth further thought and research.

Indeterminacy of translation is essentially derived from the process of language learning beyond the empirical evidence, the uncertainty of the essence of the meaning of its contents. Quinn, however, is not told about the indeterminacy of translation \with a lot of wishful thinking and speculation ingredients. Based on these uncertainties, the world will not exist only correct translation. In this way, Quinn departure from the meaning and the alleged uncertainty, breaking the kind of \continue to promote and depth will undoubtedly be of great benefit.
