From your writing I can tell that you have very good English skills, so I don't think you have to worry much. As Candace mentioned, the literal translation from Chinese to English often creates something unintended. I think it is best for you to understand the intent of the writer and then translate it in your own words, rather than try to translate it exactly. Of course, depending on what you are translating, you will have to use your best judgement regarding this.
