This paper makes a case study on lines from Disney animation picture Mulan in the light of functional concept of translation. And it draws a conclusion that in the process of film translation, the translator is allowed to make some adaptations to make the translated version more appropriate in the original context, and that the translator is supposed to have both ＂semantic awareness＂ and ＂functional awareness＂, to achieve the equivalence between the SL text and TL text functionally.展开更多

The subjects are 30 non-English-major freshmen who were randomly chosen from among 150 candidates. It was found that: 1) the subjects perform significantly better in summary writing task for the narrative text than the expository one of the same difficulty level while in multiple-choice task the difference between performances for two text types is not significant; 2) for the same narrative text, summary writing task tends to elicit significantly better general test performance than the multiple-choice one while for the same expository text, there is no significant difference between the test performances elicited by the two tasks; 3)scores in the summary writing tasks for both texts are more widely distributed than those in the multiple choice ones.展开更多
