Abstract:The School of Names had been considered as unorthodox one and not acceptable since it was came to being in Chinese history, so accordingly, whose thought and theory were not recorded and inherited so much. As a result, there is a little information about Hui Shih (fl.350-260) who was the main representative of the School of Names and his thought we can find nowadays. Therefore, what we know of his ideas may be concluded only from a series of "ten points" enumerated in the chapter titled "The World" in the Chuang-tzu. And Hui Shih's dialectical logic science plays a big role in translation.This paper, proceeding with five pairs of contradictions in translation, which are contradictions between literal translation and free translation, domestication and foreignization, formal similarity and spiritual similarity, faithfulness and creativity, understanding and expression, and analyzing and dealing with these contradictions on the basis of Hui Shih's "ten points", reveals the dialectical unity in translation contradictions, and sums up a dialectical translation view. In order to push translation forward a new stage where it is combined with Chinese philosophy, translators should adhere to dialectical thought, follow the principle of unity of opposites, set up the dialectical translation view to balance contradictions with discretion and find the best "point of fusion".
