The appropriate using of simile can make language much more refine, veracious, and lifelike, can vividly present the person, the thing, the scene and so on to achieve better effects. Simile makes the finishing point in Chinese and English. However, because of the differences on culture, history, geography, customs, expressing ways and so on, there are some structural differences between Chinese and English simile. This paper will carry out the comparative study on the structure of Chinese and English simile.展开更多

It is urgent to analyse the potential geographic distribution of R. similis in China. Genetic algorithm for rule-set prediction modeling system （GARP） and maximum entropy （MAXENT）, the two niche models which have been widely used to predict the potential geographic distribution of alien species, were used to predict the distribution of R. similis in China. We also presented a model comparison of the results by both threshold-dependent and threshold-independent evaluations. It has been shown that the two niche models could be used to predict the potential distribution of R. similis reliably. The potential distribution of R. similis should be constricted within the south of China, such as Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan provinces, and Taiwan of China. The MAXENT gives a better prediction than that of GARP. R. similis can be introduced to China by flowers and nursery stock＇s international shipping. The predicted results indicate that R. similis can occur in south coastal area of China and Yunnan Province, which are the main flower and nursery stock＇s import-export areas in China. Consequently, a strong quarantine program is needed at the ports of such areas to prevent the pest from being introduced to China.展开更多

An im-age may be a word, a phrase, or a complete sentence that refers to a seusory experience. Poets make im-ages not just for decorative purpose, but to convey his feelings to the reader, to let the reader experience what they experience. Similes and metaphors are often applied to create images in English poetry. There-fore, a study of similes and metaphors is helpful to the appreciation of English poems.展开更多

The researcher aims to study the translation of similes in Red Sorghum based on Relevance-Adaptation Model. During theprocess of simile translation, a translator should first make a relevance assumption based on context to find the author's intention;second he should make a relevance adaptation to render the translated text conform to the tradition of the target language;last, aproper choice of utterance style should be made. The findings are as follows: for C-E translation, apart from translating a simile intoa simile, a translator can also translate it into a metaphor, paraphrase it or even omit the translation of it. Based on Relevance-Ad-aptation Model, this paper enriches studies on simile translation as well as on Red Sorghum.展开更多
