Implied meaning is one aspect of meaning that translators need to deal with. Translators may encounter situations in which the implied meaning in their own or another’s translation does not sound right, but may lack the theoretical tools to distinguish between what is acceptable and what is not. The aim of this paper is to draw on relevant semantic and pragmatic theories to construct a working framework for evaluating translations of implied meaning, which examine elements including generalized and particularized conversational implicatures, perlocutionary force to the readers, and the context invoked. The evaluation framework is used to examine two translation texts, and is found to be useful in distinguishing between good and problematic translations. The merits and limitations of the working framework are also discussed.
