Title: The Parameter System of Criticism of Translated Works Based on the Determinants

Abstract: Based on the impact factor system in informatics and bibliometrics, this paper attempts to construct a parameter system of criticism of translated works, so as to provide a relatively objective research perspective of translation criticism based on statistical methods. Taking different English versions of Tao Te Ching as an example and referring to the journal impact factors, this paper calculates the compound impact factors and comprehensive impact factors of translation, and further calculate the impact factors of translation based on positive or negative criticism. The future research will focus on making impact factors an important reference index in the frame of parameter system of translation criticism. At the same time, the research of the parameter system of translation criticism will further enrich the data and calculation methods of the impact factors.

Keywords: translation criticism, impact factors, econometric analysis, English translation of Tao Te Ching
