However, the concept of "perfecto" in translation is fraught with paradoxes. George Steiner famously suggested that a translation can never be equal to the original; it can only be a "shadow" or an "echo." This paper examines the ideal of the "Perfecto Translation" by first deconstructing the definition of "perfection" in literary theory. It then examines the linguistic and cultural barriers that prevent absolute perfection, such as untranslatability and punning. Finally, it offers strategies by which translators approach this ideal, transforming the impossible "Perfecto" into an achieved "Excellence."

Not all who read were helped. Some encountered translations that unsettled them. In place of answers came riddles, or icy clarities that cut too clean. A young poet read the passage on leaves and received a translation that told her exactly which childhood promise she had broken; she walked out of the shop and never returned. A stern historian demanded the original text backwards and watched the translation explode into nonsensical laughter. The book was a mirror and, sometimes, mirror-shock hurt.
