数学著作的翻译者面临着一项既令人着迷又令人沮丧的任务。他有机会近距离地阅读一位数学大师的著作。他有责任尽可能地保留原文的风味和精神，同时使其成为一种可读的、符合翻译语言习惯的形式。所有这些都是挑战。同时，译者也不应忘记自己不是创造者，而只是一面镜子。他自己的观点，他自己的喜好，永远不应该导致他改变原来的，即使是最好的意图。只有偶尔的翻译笔记是允许的。下面的署名人感谢有机会翻译基里洛夫教授关于群表示的优秀著作，并希望它能给英语阅读数学的公众带来和它给译者带来的一样多的指导和兴趣。除了基里洛夫教授善意提供的一些更正外，严格避免偏离俄文文本。印刷错误和偶尔出现的语法错误已被默认处理。译文在所有重要方面都忠实于俄文原文。译者记录了他对琳达萨克斯的感谢，她打印了整个翻译，对劳拉·拉尔森的感谢，她准备了参考书目（在原文的基础上做了很大修改），对贝蒂·昂德希尔的感谢，她提供了重要的帮助。
The translator of a mathematical work faces a task that is at once fascinating and frustrating. He has the opportunity of reading closely the work of a master mathematician. He has the duty of retaining as far as possible the flavor and spirit of the original, at the same time rendering it into a readable and idiomatic form of the language into which the translation is made. All of this is challenging. At the same time, the translator should never forget that he is not a creator, but only a mirror. His own viewpoints, his own preferences, should never lead him into altering the original, even with the best intentions. Only an occasional translator's note is permitted. The undersigned is grateful for the opportunity of translating Professor Kirillov's fine book on group representations, and hopes that it will bring to the English-reading mathematical public as much instruction and interest as it has brought to the translator. Deviations from the Russian text have been rigorously avoided, except for a number of corrections kindly supplied by Professor Kirillov. Misprints and an occasional solecism have been tacitly taken care of. The trans lation is in all essential respects faithful to the original Russian. The translator records his gratitude to Linda Sax, who typed the entire translation, to Laura Larsson, who prepared the bibliography (considerably modified from the original), and to Betty Underhill, who rendered essential assistance.
