Most of the time, a publisher publishing a book in translation will advance around US $ 1500 to the original author, although for authors of renown, whose books dominate the charts in the US and Great Britain and for whom movie rights have been sold, that figure is likely to eclipse US $ 10,000.
一般來說，翻譯書最普遍的預付金成交價碼落在每本 1,500 美元左右，但若遇上大牌作家、已登上英美暢銷排行榜、已售出電影版權等強勢條件，則可往上追加至數千或上萬美元不等。
