This paper examines the changing relationship between comparative literature and translation since the middle of the twentieth century. During the early period of comparative literature, translation was merely a poor relation assigned to do various uneasy roles. This relationship gradually changed over the years as reflected in the ACLA Levin Report down to the Bernheimer Report. Translation has always played second-fiddle owing to a common to a common mistrust by comparatists when it came to iis ability to fully represent an original work. In this paper, the thorny issue of equivalence is therefore discussed from the perspectives of comparative literature and translation studies, as from the more fundamental ideas of reading and interpretation, language asymmetry, untranslatability, cultural difference, etc. Lastly the new role of translation in this age of interdisciplinarity and multiculturalism is discussed following ACLA President Sandra Bermann's cal for an And Zone, where the work of translation and comparative literature will engage in greater dialogue and translation will be accepted as a pertner in the comparative practice. Instead of the decades-old demand for translation to deliver in terms of equivalence, Bermann's proposal views translation from a different, more favorable angle.
