读原文 meaning in English

read in the original

But … if a source - language text produces an impression of beauty on its source - language readers , it is only when the translation produces a very close impression of beauty on its target - language readers that this translation can be considered faithful
… …但如果一篇文章的原文读者通过读原文所获得的感觉，和这篇文章的译文读者通过读译文所获得的感觉非常接近，那么这篇译文就是忠实的。
