The third stage is Justa Holz-Manttari’s proposing of the translational action theory by using the reference of communication theory and the behavioral theory. He moved forward a single step in the functionalistic translation theory. The theory supported that translation is an interactional effect among people ordered about by aims and results-oriented. Afterwards, Vermeer combined the theory with the Skopostheorie owing to much similarity between the two theories.
    The fourth stage is that Christiane Nord summed up the Functionalistic theories comprehensively. She explained the inside and outside factors of the ext analysis in translation by using the English system firstly, and how to make translation strategies corresponded with purposes based on the original text functions. She synthesized all the theories of Functionalism and proposed that translators should follow the principle of “function plus loyalty”, so that completed the theory. 从目的论角度研究《献给艾米莉的一朵玫瑰花》的两个中译本(3):http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_11363.html
