Ninety intermediate-level Chinese EFL learnerswere randomly assigned to a continuation group, a MAFW group, and a control group, each with30 learners. A pretest and a posttest were used to gauge L2 writing development. Results showedthat the continuation task outperformed the MAFW task not only in enhancing the overall qualityof L2 writing, but also in promoting the quality of three components of L2 writing, namely, content,organization, and language. The finding has important implications for L2 writing teaching andlearning.展开更多

More and more domestic and overseas scholars published their translated texts on Neijing. Due to the diversity of editions and different understanding, the translating styles and contents are widely different. This study will focus on the different translating styles on culture-specific lexicon、figure of speech and four-Chinese-character structures in Neijin.展开更多

This paper is an attempt to study the modern poem Fragment by Bian Zhilin and its translated versions from the perspective of Experiential Metafunction in systemic functional linguistics. It is hoped that this study will provide a good insight into the translation studies and that the applicability of systemic functional linguistics to discourse analysis is well tested.展开更多

The translator, as the receiver of the source text and m the meantime the producer of the target text, is sure to leave his/her voice traceable in the translated texts throughout the whole translating process. This paper aims to present an overview of the conceptual development of the translator＇s voice in translation studies from different perspectives like narratology, stylistics, socio-narrative theory, speech-act theory etc.展开更多

Make people realize the importance of using critical thinking in translation process and the importance of critical thinking. The word critical is derived from the Greek word "kritikos", which expresses awareness, insight, and judgment. The critical thinking, as we know it in the modern sense, comes from the reflective thinking that Dewey once proposed: bold questioning, cautious assertion. Whether it is the original or the translated text, the translator should be critical at the moment when he/she comes into contact with the article,so as to make a good translation.展开更多

An addressee is a mental image existing in the mind of an addresser during the creative process. Having defined its parameters, a translator has an opportunity to deliver the thought of an addresser to an addressee as accurately as possible and to select the means of expression that are clear to an addressee. The type of an addressee correlates with ＂the relation to the new＂.展开更多

As an important bridge for cultural communication, the translation of tourism texts not only needs to convey information accurately, but also needs to take into account cultural differences and cognitive characteristics. Cognitive construal theory, as an emerging theoretical framework for translation, provides an understanding and explanation of different dimensions in translation practice by focusing on human cognitive processes. This paper investigates the English translation of several tourism texts based on the cognitive construal theory and examines the cognitive mechanisms reflected in the translated texts. The study shows that the four dimensions of the cognitive construal all have an important impact on the English translation of tourism texts;people from different countries or ethnic backgrounds have different cognitive construals, so translators should flexibly adjust their cognitive construals in order to achieve a specific translation purpose. This study helps people to understand translation activities from the perspective of cognitive construal and provides a reference for the practice of translating tourism texts.展开更多
