Passage Summary: Translating a book is like trying to keep two different people happy at the same time when they want opposite things. Because you have to compromise between the original meaning and the original style, the final product is never quite perfect.

Conclusion: Any translation of a literary work, regardless of the translator's skill, will inevitably be an imperfect version of the original.

Reasoning: Translating literature requires balancing the meaning of the text with the author's style, two objectives that are impossible to fully harmonize.

Analysis: This is a Principle Justify question, so we need a rule that bridges the gap between the 'unreconcilable goals' and the 'flawed approximation.' The argument assumes that if you cannot perfectly satisfy all competing requirements of a task, the result is necessarily a failure or a flaw. Look for an answer choice that establishes this link—essentially stating that any work involving a compromise between essential but conflicting goals cannot be considered a perfect representation.
