How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation

I. Purpose and Significance

With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.

It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.

Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.

II. Literature Review

Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.

With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.

I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.

Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.

I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

III. Feasibility Analysis

This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in

translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.

have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.

have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.

instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.

IV. Problems of the research and solutions

1. Problems

Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

2. Solutions

(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

V. Necessary conditions

1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.

想学好一篇英语专业的论文,需要先写好开题报告,那么英语专业开题报告该怎么写呢?下面给大家提供一份英语专业开题报告,一起来看看吧!

1、选题意义和背景。

选题背景:

(一)对当前英语学习现象的考问

(二)理论学习的熏陶

选题意义:

理论意义

本研究从现象学的角度定义“学习状态”,学习状态是一种意识,这种状态是整体的、自上而下。学生在学习英语的过程中是不断的发展变化的,他们的语言意识品质是逐渐地养成。每一阶段的教育都要有意识的形成,而每一个意识的形成都需要有可以接纳它的内在前提。中学生在中学六年的英语学习过程中,每一个阶段都为下一个阶段的学习提供内在前提,这就是我们所说的中学生的英语学习状态的变化。通过对此的研究,我们能够明确教师的“教”就是使得学生逐步地形成他们的英语语言意识品质,养成其英语素养。这样的一种理论理解,带有根本性的变革的意义。

教育归根到底是“一种意识品质的养成”,意识是最原初的形态,它是人的觉察状态,蕴含着“知、情、意、行”最初始的合而未分的胚芽。一旦教育使学生具有了某种意识,它就会像种子拥有的生命基因那样作用于学生的心灵,在一个个与之相合的具体情境之中一次次地生根发芽,舒枝展叶,它外显于人的形状、姿态就是素养的体现,就是意识品质养成的结果。

由此可见,英语课堂不再是英语知识的传递而是英语语言意识品质的养成。英语课堂不是单。纯的听说读写技能的训练,而是英语素养的养成。这种理论依据的寻找在方法论上也是一种新的探索,它不仅丰富了英语教育的研究,而月为中学英语教学设计提供了经过论证的建议,同时也为现存的教育实践活动提供理论借鉴与支撑。

实践意义

首先,本研究笔者致力于寻求英语教学的理论依据,从分析学生的语言学习状态入手,明确中学英语教学的基点。然后再分析语言是什么,明确英语作为一门语言的意义和作为一门中学课程的意义,形成对中学英语教学内涵实质的理解。

中学英语教师的“教”就是使得学生养成他们的英语素养:语言意识品质。这一理解不仅丰富了当前的英语教育理论和英语教学研究,同时也能够为教育实践者提供理论借鉴。

其次,本研究通过对中学生入学初的英语学习状态和高三毕业时的学习状态的把握形成对中学英语教学的理解。教师要做到就是在六年的教学中,让学生从最开始的状态达到高三毕业时应有的状态,这也就明确了中学英语教学就是要形成学生的英语语言素养。在此基础上,呈现的课例体现着学生从最初拥有的英语学习状态到高三毕业时的英语学习状态的自然的、整体的过渡。这些能够为中学英语教与学提供更有效的具有借鉴意义的具体措施。

并且本研究对我自身的教育理论和实践也具有较强的训练意义,对以后投入中学英语教育有很大的实践和理论指导意义,让我能够自信、有理、有据地从事中学英语教学。

再次,英语教师专业发展需要有一个根本的追求,本文的研究能够为其提供一个明确的解答:英语课堂不是英语知识的传递而是英语语言意识品质的养成。这样的一种理解,可以使得我们英语教师在日常的教学实践中不至于陷入“语言工具论之争一”和“题海战术”之中。

对英语教的依据的明确,使得教师的教学是直接拿着英语本身去感染学生,学生拥有的是英语语言本身,而不是单词的累积、语法的机械记忆等等。学生养成的是英语素养,而不是解英语题的技巧或是听说读写的技能。

作为英语教师,我们可以在中学六年的日常教学实践中实现学生英语语言意识品质的养成。让学生真正学懂英语,让英语学习不再成为一种负担,让英语本身的语言力量去感染他们。并且使得他们对使用英语这门语言来理解和表达所思所想充满热切的愿望,对英语及其蕴含的文化充满着新奇。这也是作为一名英语教师应该努力的方向,也是实现教师专业化发展的重要表现。

2、论文综述/研究基础。

(一)关于“学习状态”的研究在对学生学习状态的相关文献进行分析梳理时,笔者发现国内外的关于学习状态的研究主要是从心理学的'角度展开的。国外在这一方面的研究,在提到learning state时,更多的指的是远程学习中的学习状态,与国内所指的学生课堂或者学习过程中的学习状态是迥然不同的。在查阅到的相关文献中,学习状态多指的是在课堂或是课堂之外的学习过程中的学习状态。

(二)关于中学生英语学习的研究在中国知网中,输入“中学生英语习得”这一关键词共检索出5篇文章,其中一篇《略论语法翻译法在我国中学英语教学中的积极意义》从我国英语教学的具体情况谈起,谈及了中学英语学习的特点,认为在《新课程标准》背景下,语法翻译教学法仍具有重要的意义。

文中并没有涉及中学生语言习得的内容,仅论述了语法翻译法这一教学方法在中学英语教学中的意义。剩余的四篇中的两篇文章《课堂教学环境下如何创设语境培养中学生英语习得的能力》和《善用朗读,促进中学生英语习得》探讨的是如何通过创设语境和善用朗读这些具体的英语教学方法来促进学生语言的习得。

他们只是从微观的视角来阐述具体的英语教学方法,并未对学生英语习得做整体的分析。《语言迁移对英语语法习得的影响》这篇硕士论文以影响语言习得的一个重要因素-语言迁移中的一可加工理论为切入点,通过实证调查的方式探讨了这一理论对中学生英语语法习得的影响。

最后一篇《论语意与形式兼顾理论在中学英语课堂教学中的应用》作者选取国内外二语习得和外语教学研究的一个热点课堂教学中兼顾语义与形式的教学模式,探讨这种教学模式在中国中学英语教学中应用的可能性,讨论若干可操作的教学方法与步骤。认为语意与形式兼顾教学结合了纯语言形式教学和纯交际教学的优点,有利于提高学习者语言的流利性和准确性。

(三)关于中学英语教学的研究对此研究的关注,只是想了解当前的中学英语教学中教师是依据什么来设计教学促进学生英语语言意识品质的养成。

5、论文的理论依据、研究方法、研究内容。

我的研究设计主要是怎样根据学生的英语语言学习状态设计研究序列使中学英语教学得到整体体现。论证它有完整覆盖和代表性,并体现学科性质特点和英语学习的特点;论证它可以养成学生的英语语言意识品质;论证它是教的依据。    本文的研究在一般意义上也会采用文献分析的研究方法来获取本研究的学术动态,通过访谈法跟观察法来获取研究中关于中学生母语语言状态和英语语言学习状态的最真实的研究资料。但我的最主要的研究方法将采用以下的方法:

1理论研究

本研究主要从现象学的理论视野出发,确定“学习状态、语言学习状态”的内涵实质。学习状态其实就是一种意识状态,它具有意识所有的特点。它是教的起点,也是一切教育进行的基点。那语言学习状态就是一种语言运用的意识状态,英语教学的实质就是养成学生的英语语言意识品质。英语学习是学生在习得母语的条件下进行的,而目_母语是一直参与其中的。因此要研究中学生的英语语言学习状态,必须首先明确其母语语言的学习状态。这样,我就很容易的形成了中学生一入学时的英语学习状态。我的研究也就以此开始,进而通过高考复盘和高中英语课程标准的解读,把握中学生在高只毕业后应有的英语学习状态。这样我就对中学生一开始的英语学习状态和高三毕业后应有的英语学习状态有整体的、系统的理解。在通过对英语作为一门语言和作为一门中学课程的意义的理解,明确了中学英语教学的根本。那么作为一名老师,我要做的就是设计教学设计使得学生能在六年的中学学习中逐步的养成这种英语语言的意识品质,这种理论研究使得我确定了我要研究的对象的内涵实质。

2叙事研究

通过理论研究,理论上我己经明确了要研究的对象的内涵实质。学习状态实质上就是一种意识状态,是学生拥有英语语言意识品质的内在前提。它既不独立在学习活动之外,也不需要临时构造,它总是伴随在学习活动之中,从未超出。这种意识状态是通过“意义”来体现的。因此,凡是在我的研究中涉及到“意义”的,我都将通过描述性的语言来呈现。意义是用语言描述出来的,不能用概念来达到。并且这种描述是不带任何先入之见的、仅以直观为依据Zz,直观的、具体的呈现其“意义”.这也是现象学作为描述性的科学的最主要的特点。本研究将采用描述性的语言来呈现内涵实质。

3行动研究

行动研究是本研究中采用的最主要的研究方法,理论研究确定了本研究的内涵实质,叙事研究用描述性的语言呈现本研究的内涵实质。明确中学英语教学的根本就是养成学生的英语语言意识品质,即英语素养。在此基础上,设计我的教使得学生逐步的养成他们的英语语言意识品质。设计教的依旧是中学英语教学的内涵实质和不同阶段学生的不同学习状态。行动研究就是在实践之中做。教育是实践的,实践是具体的,具体的是有内容的。实践只以自身为目的。我的教学设计要具体的进行实践,实践就是我的教使得学生养成他们的英语语言意识品质。拘泥于自身和现实的条件,在具体的实践过程中,不可能将每一个教学设计都能具体的得到实践。因此,我会选择其中的一些节点课进行实践,然而这些节点课不是盲月的选择的,是依据学生不同的语言学习状态、新课程标准以及英语学习本身的性质特点和中学生英语学习特点等要素选取的,这些节点课都是代表性比较强的课,能够从其中看到我想要展示的学生语一言学习状态的一个逐步发展变化的过程,这一过程是整体的、自然的,体现着英语语言学习的特点,朝向英语木身,用英语木身去感染学生,最终养成学生的英语语言意识品质。

6、研究条件和可能存在的问题。

(一)听说读写技能技巧训练下的中学英语教学,从课堂实录来看,大部分时间都是教师在指一导学生进行句型的操练。虽然采取了各种不同的活动方式,但是其本质都是在进行直接引语变间接引语句型的操练。而未对直接引语是什么或是间接引语是什么进行解释说明。

(二)“工具论至上”理念下的中学英语教学,把英语一概而论为工具,不当语言的使用的教学违背了英语作为一门语言的特性。这种教学形式下的英语不是作为一门语言,而是成为了一种使用工具。工具论下的英语教学只看到了英语作为一门外语的特性,却忽视了其本身作为一门语言的特性。这样的教学方式下的一个严重后果就是英语学习只注重听、说,读、写的训练或语言、词汇和语法规则的传授却对语言文化的背景不甚了解。

(三)“像母语一样学习英语”理念下的中学英语教学,中学生的英语语言学习不是自然习得的,是在教师的教之下慢慢的学习的。因此,“像母语一样学习英语”虽然有一定的借鉴意义,但这样的一种教学方式在中学课堂中是不可取的。

上述所说的三种方式都未能很好的体现出英语是另外一个民族的母语这样的一种特性,同时也忽略了中学生英语学习的特质以及中学英语学科的内涵性质特点。因此,要把握中学英语教学的内涵实质,必须既要注意到它的语言特性,又要注意到它的外语特性。

7、预期的结果。

一、分析出中学生入学初的英语学习状态和高三毕业时的应该有的学习状态,形成了对中学生最初的英语语言学习状态和高三毕业时应该养成的英语语言素养的理解。

二、通过对语言脉络的梳理,找回语言的本体论地位。语言是存在的表达,英语作为一门语言,亦是存在的表达。只不过不是我们民族存在的表达,它是英语民族存在的表达。英语作为一门中学课程,有其特殊的意义。

三、学习英语就是学习另外一个民族如何使用它们的母语,中学英语教学就是教学生学会使用英语这种存在的表达,通过六年的中学英语教学逐步的养成学生的英语学习状态和英语语言素养。

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation

I. Purpose and Significance

With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.

It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.

Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.

II. Literature Review

Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.

With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.

I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.

Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.

I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

III. Feasibility Analysis

This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in

translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.

have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.

have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.

instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.

IV. Problems of the research and solutions

1. Problems

Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

2. Solutions

(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

V. Necessary conditions

1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation

I. Purpose and Significance

With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.

It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.

Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.

II. Literature Review

Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.

With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them.

It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language.

英语专业开题报告范例

想学好一篇英语专业的论文,需要先写好开题报告,那么英语专业开题报告该怎么写呢?下面给大家提供一份英语专业开题报告,一起来看看吧!

1、选题意义和背景。

选题背景:

(一)对当前英语学习现象的考问

(二)理论学习的熏陶

选题意义:

理论意义

本研究从现象学的角度定义“学习状态”,学习状态是一种意识,这种状态是整体的、自上而下。学生在学习英语的过程中是不断的发展变化的,他们的语言意识品质是逐渐地养成。每一阶段的教育都要有意识的形成,而每一个意识的形成都需要有可以接纳它的内在前提。中学生在中学六年的英语学习过程中,每一个阶段都为下一个阶段的学习提供内在前提,这就是我们所说的中学生的英语学习状态的变化。通过对此的研究,我们能够明确教师的“教”就是使得学生逐步地形成他们的英语语言意识品质,养成其英语素养。这样的一种理论理解,带有根本性的变革的意义。

教育归根到底是“一种意识品质的养成”,意识是最原初的形态,它是人的觉察状态,蕴含着“知、情、意、行”最初始的合而未分的胚芽。一旦教育使学生具有了某种意识,它就会像种子拥有的生命基因那样作用于学生的心灵,在一个个与之相合的具体情境之中一次次地生根发芽,舒枝展叶,它外显于人的形状、姿态就是素养的体现,就是意识品质养成的结果。

由此可见,英语课堂不再是英语知识的传递而是英语语言意识品质的养成。英语课堂不是单。纯的听说读写技能的训练,而是英语素养的养成。这种理论依据的寻找在方法论上也是一种新的探索,它不仅丰富了英语教育的研究,而月为中学英语教学设计提供了经过论证的建议,同时也为现存的教育实践活动提供理论借鉴与支撑。

实践意义

首先,本研究笔者致力于寻求英语教学的理论依据,从分析学生的语言学习状态入手,明确中学英语教学的基点。然后再分析语言是什么,明确英语作为一门语言的意义和作为一门中学课程的意义,形成对中学英语教学内涵实质的理解。

中学英语教师的“教”就是使得学生养成他们的英语素养:语言意识品质。这一理解不仅丰富了当前的英语教育理论和英语教学研究,同时也能够为教育实践者提供理论借鉴。

其次,本研究通过对中学生入学初的英语学习状态和高三毕业时的学习状态的把握形成对中学英语教学的理解。教师要做到就是在六年的教学中,让学生从最开始的状态达到高三毕业时应有的状态,这也就明确了中学英语教学就是要形成学生的英语语言素养。在此基础上,呈现的课例体现着学生从最初拥有的英语学习状态到高三毕业时的英语学习状态的自然的、整体的过渡。这些能够为中学英语教与学提供更有效的具有借鉴意义的具体措施。

并且本研究对我自身的教育理论和实践也具有较强的训练意义,对以后投入中学英语教育有很大的实践和理论指导意义,让我能够自信、有理、有据地从事中学英语教学。

再次,英语教师专业发展需要有一个根本的追求,本文的研究能够为其提供一个明确的解答:英语课堂不是英语知识的传递而是英语语言意识品质的养成。这样的一种理解,可以使得我们英语教师在日常的教学实践中不至于陷入“语言工具论之争一”和“题海战术”之中。

对英语教的依据的明确,使得教师的教学是直接拿着英语本身去感染学生,学生拥有的是英语语言本身,而不是单词的累积、语法的机械记忆等等。学生养成的是英语素养,而不是解英语题的技巧或是听说读写的技能。

作为英语教师,我们可以在中学六年的日常教学实践中实现学生英语语言意识品质的养成。让学生真正学懂英语,让英语学习不再成为一种负担,让英语本身的语言力量去感染他们。并且使得他们对使用英语这门语言来理解和表达所思所想充满热切的愿望,对英语及其蕴含的文化充满着新奇。这也是作为一名英语教师应该努力的方向,也是实现教师专业化发展的重要表现。

2、论文综述/研究基础。

(一)关于“学习状态”的研究在对学生学习状态的相关文献进行分析梳理时,笔者发现国内外的关于学习状态的研究主要是从心理学的'角度展开的。国外在这一方面的研究,在提到learning state时,更多的指的是远程学习中的学习状态,与国内所指的学生课堂或者学习过程中的学习状态是迥然不同的。在查阅到的相关文献中,学习状态多指的是在课堂或是课堂之外的学习过程中的学习状态。

(二)关于中学生英语学习的研究在中国知网中,输入“中学生英语习得”这一关键词共检索出5篇文章,其中一篇《略论语法翻译法在我国中学英语教学中的积极意义》从我国英语教学的具体情况谈起,谈及了中学英语学习的特点,认为在《新课程标准》背景下,语法翻译教学法仍具有重要的意义。

文中并没有涉及中学生语言习得的内容,仅论述了语法翻译法这一教学方法在中学英语教学中的意义。剩余的四篇中的两篇文章《课堂教学环境下如何创设语境培养中学生英语习得的能力》和《善用朗读,促进中学生英语习得》探讨的是如何通过创设语境和善用朗读这些具体的英语教学方法来促进学生语言的习得。

他们只是从微观的视角来阐述具体的英语教学方法,并未对学生英语习得做整体的分析。《语言迁移对英语语法习得的影响》这篇硕士论文以影响语言习得的一个重要因素-语言迁移中的一可加工理论为切入点,通过实证调查的方式探讨了这一理论对中学生英语语法习得的影响。

最后一篇《论语意与形式兼顾理论在中学英语课堂教学中的应用》作者选取国内外二语习得和外语教学研究的一个热点课堂教学中兼顾语义与形式的教学模式,探讨这种教学模式在中国中学英语教学中应用的可能性,讨论若干可操作的教学方法与步骤。认为语意与形式兼顾教学结合了纯语言形式教学和纯交际教学的优点,有利于提高学习者语言的流利性和准确性。

(三)关于中学英语教学的研究对此研究的关注,只是想了解当前的中学英语教学中教师是依据什么来设计教学促进学生英语语言意识品质的养成。

5、论文的理论依据、研究方法、研究内容。

我的研究设计主要是怎样根据学生的英语语言学习状态设计研究序列使中学英语教学得到整体体现。论证它有完整覆盖和代表性,并体现学科性质特点和英语学习的特点;论证它可以养成学生的英语语言意识品质;论证它是教的依据。    本文的研究在一般意义上也会采用文献分析的研究方法来获取本研究的学术动态,通过访谈法跟观察法来获取研究中关于中学生母语语言状态和英语语言学习状态的最真实的研究资料。但我的最主要的研究方法将采用以下的方法:

1理论研究

本研究主要从现象学的理论视野出发,确定“学习状态、语言学习状态”的内涵实质。学习状态其实就是一种意识状态,它具有意识所有的特点。它是教的起点,也是一切教育进行的基点。那语言学习状态就是一种语言运用的意识状态,英语教学的实质就是养成学生的英语语言意识品质。英语学习是学生在习得母语的条件下进行的,而目_母语是一直参与其中的。因此要研究中学生的英语语言学习状态,必须首先明确其母语语言的学习状态。这样,我就很容易的形成了中学生一入学时的英语学习状态。我的研究也就以此开始,进而通过高考复盘和高中英语课程标准的解读,把握中学生在高只毕业后应有的英语学习状态。这样我就对中学生一开始的英语学习状态和高三毕业后应有的英语学习状态有整体的、系统的理解。在通过对英语作为一门语言和作为一门中学课程的意义的理解,明确了中学英语教学的根本。那么作为一名老师,我要做的就是设计教学设计使得学生能在六年的中学学习中逐步的养成这种英语语言的意识品质,这种理论研究使得我确定了我要研究的对象的内涵实质。

2叙事研究

通过理论研究,理论上我己经明确了要研究的对象的内涵实质。学习状态实质上就是一种意识状态,是学生拥有英语语言意识品质的内在前提。它既不独立在学习活动之外,也不需要临时构造,它总是伴随在学习活动之中,从未超出。这种意识状态是通过“意义”来体现的。因此,凡是在我的研究中涉及到“意义”的,我都将通过描述性的语言来呈现。意义是用语言描述出来的,不能用概念来达到。并且这种描述是不带任何先入之见的、仅以直观为依据Zz,直观的、具体的呈现其“意义”.这也是现象学作为描述性的科学的最主要的特点。本研究将采用描述性的语言来呈现内涵实质。

3行动研究

行动研究是本研究中采用的最主要的研究方法,理论研究确定了本研究的内涵实质,叙事研究用描述性的语言呈现本研究的内涵实质。明确中学英语教学的根本就是养成学生的英语语言意识品质,即英语素养。在此基础上,设计我的教使得学生逐步的养成他们的英语语言意识品质。设计教的依旧是中学英语教学的内涵实质和不同阶段学生的不同学习状态。行动研究就是在实践之中做。教育是实践的,实践是具体的,具体的是有内容的。实践只以自身为目的。我的教学设计要具体的进行实践,实践就是我的教使得学生养成他们的英语语言意识品质。拘泥于自身和现实的条件,在具体的实践过程中,不可能将每一个教学设计都能具体的得到实践。因此,我会选择其中的一些节点课进行实践,然而这些节点课不是盲月的选择的,是依据学生不同的语言学习状态、新课程标准以及英语学习本身的性质特点和中学生英语学习特点等要素选取的,这些节点课都是代表性比较强的课,能够从其中看到我想要展示的学生语一言学习状态的一个逐步发展变化的过程,这一过程是整体的、自然的,体现着英语语言学习的特点,朝向英语木身,用英语木身去感染学生,最终养成学生的英语语言意识品质。

6、研究条件和可能存在的问题。

(一)听说读写技能技巧训练下的中学英语教学,从课堂实录来看,大部分时间都是教师在指一导学生进行句型的操练。虽然采取了各种不同的活动方式,但是其本质都是在进行直接引语变间接引语句型的操练。而未对直接引语是什么或是间接引语是什么进行解释说明。

(二)“工具论至上”理念下的中学英语教学,把英语一概而论为工具,不当语言的使用的教学违背了英语作为一门语言的特性。这种教学形式下的英语不是作为一门语言,而是成为了一种使用工具。工具论下的英语教学只看到了英语作为一门外语的特性,却忽视了其本身作为一门语言的特性。这样的教学方式下的一个严重后果就是英语学习只注重听、说,读、写的训练或语言、词汇和语法规则的传授却对语言文化的背景不甚了解。

(三)“像母语一样学习英语”理念下的中学英语教学,中学生的英语语言学习不是自然习得的,是在教师的教之下慢慢的学习的。因此,“像母语一样学习英语”虽然有一定的借鉴意义,但这样的一种教学方式在中学课堂中是不可取的。

上述所说的三种方式都未能很好的体现出英语是另外一个民族的母语这样的一种特性,同时也忽略了中学生英语学习的特质以及中学英语学科的内涵性质特点。因此,要把握中学英语教学的内涵实质,必须既要注意到它的语言特性,又要注意到它的外语特性。

7、预期的结果。

一、分析出中学生入学初的英语学习状态和高三毕业时的应该有的学习状态,形成了对中学生最初的英语语言学习状态和高三毕业时应该养成的英语语言素养的理解。

二、通过对语言脉络的梳理,找回语言的本体论地位。语言是存在的表达,英语作为一门语言,亦是存在的表达。只不过不是我们民族存在的表达,它是英语民族存在的表达。英语作为一门中学课程,有其特殊的意义。

三、学习英语就是学习另外一个民族如何使用它们的母语,中学英语教学就是教学生学会使用英语这种存在的表达,通过六年的中学英语教学逐步的养成学生的英语学习状态和英语语言素养。

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation

I. Purpose and Significance

With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.

It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.

Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.

II. Literature Review

Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.

With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.

I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.

Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.

I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

III. Feasibility Analysis

This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in

translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.

have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.

have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.

instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.

IV. Problems of the research and solutions

1. Problems

Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

2. Solutions

(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

V. Necessary conditions

1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.

英语文学是英语专业学生的一门重要的课程,对于英语学生的自身能力的提升具有十分重要的意义,下面是我为您带来的英语文学开题 报告 范文 ,欢迎阅读! 英语文学开题报告范文篇1 题 目 An Analysis of the Character Portia in the Merchant of Venice 一、本课题的研究目的及意义 (一)研究目的 莎士比亚作为英国文艺复兴时期最杰出的艺术大师,被马克思称之为“最伟大的戏剧天才”。透过似真似幻的舞台和匠心独具的 故事 ,莎翁塑造了一系列不朽的人物典型。尤其是塑造了众多而鲜明的人物形象。在莎士比亚的剧作中出场的女性人物有一百多人,在众多的女性人物中上至贵族,下至平民百姓,几乎是各不相同。而《威尼斯商人》中的鲍西亚更是被公认为莎士比亚笔下别具风采的女性形象。众多评论家认为莎士比亚戏剧中刻画的女性形象大都非常贴近生活,具有巨大的认识价值。。在这一讽刺喜剧《威尼斯商人》中鲍西亚美丽、善良、机智、自信、富有才华和胆识,正体现了莎士比亚从男性的视觉自发塑造的理想中的新女性。作为新女性的鲍西亚,具有一定的判逆性格,不甘于被命运摆弄做逆来顺受的“家庭天使”,在一定程度上体现了莎士比亚对人文主义精神的追求。然而,从女性主义的视角来分析,在男性为中心的社会里,鲍西亚绝非真正具有女性的自我意识,而是甘于向父权社会妥协的不完美的新女性。本课题通过对《威尼斯商人》中鲍西亚形象的分析,让读者了解鲍西亚思想上、性格上的先进性与局限性,对现代女性起到一定的启示作用。 (二)研究意义 莎士比亚通过对生活细致入微的观察,对人性深刻的剖析,创作出《威尼斯商人》这部极具讽刺性的喜剧。在莎士比亚的笔下,女性的感情与理智平分秋色,女性是以与男性平等的形象出现的。这在鲍西亚这一角色身上表现最为突出。鲍西亚美丽温柔、忠贞不渝、善良可爱、机智勇敢、足智多谋。她掌握着自己的命运,不仅在自主选择丈夫方面,而且在与夏洛克的斗争中起到了关键性的作用。在当今的现实生活中,鲍西亚光彩照人的女性形象也可以带给人们启迪和借鉴。鲍西亚在金钱和爱情的杠杆上,选择了爱情。在她的内心深处爱情价更高,是金钱、物质所无法取代的。她对于爱情忠贞不渝和执着,值得现代生活中个别只追求物质享受的女人去学习。在现实生活中,个别人不应该由于自己的优越条件而歧视别人,更要学会不用有色眼光去看待别人。在法庭上,讲义气、才智非凡的鲍西亚女扮男装以法律博士的身份出场,使剧情有了戏剧性的转折,使夏洛克一步步在不知不觉中陷入她的计策。她成功的妙计足以显示出其学问深厚,机智敏锐,有胆有识的特点,这种女性形象也是我们所认同和赞赏的。《威尼斯商人》中的鲍西亚人物形象具有生动鲜明,栩栩如生,有血有肉等特点。本文通过对《威尼斯商人》主要人物鲍西亚的分析,力图从新的视角去尝试发觉人物的真实性和人物的多面性,给现实生活中的人们以启迪和借鉴。 二、已了解的本课题国内外研究现状 (一)国外研究现状 欧洲的14到16世纪,是人类 文化 发展史上的一个重要时期。发源于意大利的强大的人文主义运动很快席卷欧洲各国。它从反对封建专制,教会权威和禁欲主义的历史要求出发,肯定人的价值,赞美人的理性和智慧,提倡人对现世幸福的追求和个性自由。这一时期的欧洲戏剧以英国和西班牙为主流,其中莎士比亚的许多剧作是世界戏剧宝库中珍品。从17世纪开始,莎士比亚戏剧渐次传入了德、法、意、俄、美等国,对各国戏剧产生了深远的影响。他虽说生活在400多年前,直到今天各国都有许多研究、评论莎士比亚和他作品的学者,评论家。17世纪有德莱登;18世纪有卜普、约翰生和莫尔根;19世纪有兰姆、柯勒律治;20世纪有道登和布雷德莱。世界各国许多著名的文学家和文艺评论家如德国的歌德,法国的伏尔泰、雨果,俄罗斯的普希金、托尔斯泰等人,都对莎士比亚作品有过精彩的评论。英国著名文学评论家萨缪尔.约翰逊认为莎士比亚的戏剧是生活的镜子,“谁要是被其他作家们捏造出来的荒.唐故事弄得头昏眼花,读一下莎士比亚用凡人的语言所表达的凡人思想感情就会医治好他的颠三倒四的狂想”。《威尼斯商人》的一大成就,就是在轻松的喜剧描写中不忘反映时代,并非只在台词里述说介绍,而是通过情节、人物和人物关系等几个方面,来显示时代风貌和生活要求。 (二)国内研究现状 莎士比亚的名字是由传教士在1856年介绍过来的。清末,我国思想界代表人物严复、梁启超等都在译著中提到莎士比亚的名字。而他的戏剧直到1919年五四运动以后,才用白话文和戏剧的形式翻译过来。新中国成立以后,特别是20世纪50年代,出现了许多新译本,其中就有方平译的《威尼斯商人》,也是在这一时期我国学者开始阐释并莎士比亚及其作品《威尼斯商人》中的____文化内涵,这不仅是我国莎学研究的进一步补充与完善,更是与国际学术接轨的重大举措,是理性沉思后的再审视。20世纪60年代方平先生在他的莎学研究中仍然突出了意识形态与阶级斗争。他认为,莎士比亚的喜剧《威尼斯商人》所表现的“积财就是积富”和“守财就是进财”,表明资本主义经济势力开始在历史舞台上露头,构成了它的互为补充的两套道德教条。而自1985年到2005年的20年来我国大陆的莎士比亚喜剧研究像《威尼斯商人》,发现大致可分为三个方面,喜剧本质研究、人物形象的研究和比较研究。对莎翁喜剧本质关注的角度主要在于探讨其喜剧体现出来的喜剧精神、喜剧艺术、喜剧美学。人物研究集中在对夏洛克和女性人物分析,主题定位于爱和友谊。 三、本课题的研究内容 摘要 (一) 本课题研究的目的及意义 (二)本课题相关的研究综述 (三)本课题研究的基本思路和主要内容 简单介绍《威尼斯商人》中的作者背景和历史背景 对《威尼斯商人》中女性人物鲍西亚的分析 鲍西亚的本质 鲍西亚的人文主义精神 鲍西亚的女性自我意识 三、《威尼斯商人》中女性局限性的表现 (一)父权社会对女性的控制 (二)以丈夫为中心 (三)社会对女性的忽视 四、威尼斯商人对现代女性的启示 (一)夫妻间的两性关系 (二)爱情独立性和平等性的探求 (三)社会对女性的压力 五、对课题《威尼斯商人》的 总结 四、本课题研究的步骤、 方法 及进度安排 研究的步骤:1.审理清楚课题的意思和研究方向 2.了解课题的研究现状和查找相关的资料 3.在图书馆和网络上收集相关的书籍和资料,整合资料并做好笔记 4.拟写开题报告 5.拟写大纲 6.着手写正文 7.论文修改与定稿 研究的方法:文献法、理论研究法(到图书馆查找纸质及电子资料) 讨论法(与同学讨论相关的研究内容) 实证研究法(通过相关的例子又发思考) 进度安排: . 选题 定题 查找资料,初定提纲和开题报告 论文初稿并修改 论文修改并定稿 五、主要参考文献 [1]Jameson.

英语翻译方向论文 范文 一:高职 商务英语 翻译课程改革分析

[摘要]本文结合我院的实际情况,以就业为导向,从课程定位、教材改革和教学模式等方面着手,探索高职《商务英语翻译》课程的改革方向,以期优化该课程教学设计,有效提高教学质量,为学生的就业岗位需求服务。

[关键词]高职;商务英语翻译;课程改革

1引言

根据《高等职业学校专业教学标准(试行)》,《商务英语翻译》课程是“高等职业学校商务英语专业学生的职业技能课”,在整个专业课程设置框架及人才培养体系中的地位不可忽视。然而,目前该课程普遍存在“课程设置和教学内容本科化、缺乏职业针对性、师资学科型”的问题。(江晗,2010)针对这些问题,本文结合东莞职业技术学院(下称“我院”)的实际情况,就课程定位、教材改革和教学模式等方面进行初步探讨,提出高职《商务英语翻译》课程的改革方向。

2课程定位

高职英语专业翻译课容易走入定位不清的误区。有的学者提出“现有高职、高专已经成立的翻译系或翻译方向最好主要以证书培训为主要目标”(穆雷,2008);有的院校干脆将课程目标单纯定位为通过全国商务英语翻译考试、获取证书。但是,通过走访我院用人企业得知,外语等级证书和翻译证书都不是企业所看重的指标或用人条件,真正的实践应用能力和职业素养才为用人单位所器重。因此,不适合将考取翻译证书作为该课程的定位和目标,但可作为辅助手段,提高学生的学习兴趣和动力。笔者认为,高职《商务英语翻译》课程的定位,取决于学生自身的能力水平及 毕业 后的就业岗位所需。一方面,高职学生的外语水平基础较差,特别是双语转换能力较弱,即使经过一学期或一学年的翻译课程学习,也难以胜任高端的会议交替传译,更不用说同声传译,只适合进行初级的口、笔译工作;另一方面,就我院以往毕业生的就业情况来看,没有专门从事翻译行业的专职译员,所以不能照搬培养专职译员的外语专业本科或研究生人才培养模式来对高职学生进行教学,而应该按实际情况来做出切实的课程定位,以指导该课程的开展,培养毕业生工作所需的相应翻译能力。通过对我院应用外语系2015届毕业生就业统计及个别访谈得知,我系毕业生就业单位主要是小微涉外跨境企业,而这些企业基本上没有设置专职翻译岗位。毕业生从事的岗位群主要集中在外贸业务员、外贸跟单员、跨境电商岗位操作员、跨境电商岗位推广及运营专员,从事销售、采购、跟单、商务策划、接待、客服等工作,他们在工作中的翻译活动主要包括涉外商务谈判、商务营销、接待应酬、国际会展、公司及产品介绍、日常文书和邮件处理等。这些工作任务的性质,突出了高职翻译的交际功能,决定了高职学生需要的翻译是一种初级实用型商务翻译;毕业生身兼数职,既要做好本职工作又要在涉外场合兼顾翻译的角色,也决定了高职商务英语专业所培养的学生是“复合型译员”。(姚嘉五,2012)根据这两点,我院高职商务英语专业的翻译课程应定位为中英双向初级商务文本笔译和一般商务情景的涉外陪同口译,课程培养目标是能胜任小微涉外企业与翻译有关工作的复合型人才。

3教材改革

高校的传统翻译教材编排,一般沿用两条主线,一为“专题型”,关注的重点是不同专题的内容及表达;二为“技能型”,关注的重点是技巧训练。“专题型”教材包含的某些专题,如政治外交演讲、政府会议、时事、科技、体育方面的材料,或难度偏高或与高职毕业生的实际就业岗位关联较小,不适合用于高职的翻译教学;“技能型”教材对学生的技能训练要求过高,往往超出他们的能力范围,容易让学生产生挫败感和畏难情绪。以上两种教材,都不太符合高职 教育 “实用为主,够用为度”的原则。回顾笔者所使用过的翻译教材,存在纰漏、拼写或语法错误等,部分内容要么过于陈旧,要么缺乏与区域经济相符合的素材,而且缺少音频或视频,也没有配套的教师用书,口译对话练习并不是英汉穿插而是全英或全中文,并不适合用来做翻译练习。基于以上现状,教材改革势在必行。首先,在难度上,要贴近高职学生的能力水平,“重信息传递、淡化翻译技巧”(曾昭涛,2009)。传统的翻译教材对翻译史、翻译理论和技巧有较为详尽的阐述,但这往往对注重实用和实践操作的高职生缺乏吸引力,因此应该淡化,转而关注高职翻译的核心交际功能,即“信息传递”,不苛求翻译技巧的处理。其次,在内容上,应该对接 职场 ,摒弃政府 报告 、外交辞令、大型会议翻译的题材,选取与学生就业岗位需要相吻合的口、笔译素材,体现当地区域经济特点,融入当地特色行业元素。以东莞为例,作为广东三大展览基地之一,该城市每年举办各种展会30多个,因此将会展口译纳入高职翻译教材很有必要。东莞还有明显的特色经济,已形成电子信息、电气机械、纺织服装、家具、玩具、造纸及纸制品、食品饮料、化工等八大支柱产业,所以翻译内容也要考虑选取与这些行业相关的文本,以体现翻译教材的行业性。再次,在章节编排上,不宜把主题安排得过于广泛,应遵循典型翻译工作任务流程,把翻译课程项目化、模块化,这样既符合高职“工学结合”的教育内涵,又体现高职教材的特色。教材改革的重担落在高职院校一线任课教师身上,教师可以在原教材的基础上,有所取舍,再扩展补充与区域经济、特色行业相关的内容,也可重新编写出符合学生学情又满足就业需求的教材。教材的改革需要教师积极到企业单位进行调研和实践,了解实际翻译情境需要,收集具体岗位工作可能接触到的语言素材,编写真正实用的课本,更好地服务于教学。

4教学模式改革

由于高职翻译课的老师多为科班出身,上课容易落入本科翻译教学的俗套,即采取老师讲授、学生练习、老师点评的方式,课程模式比较僵化,学生没有真正参与到知识构建中来,同时脱离了真实的商务翻译情景,学生学习兴趣低,容易产生倦怠情绪,自然难以取得理想的教学效果。根据高职学生的学情和人才培养目标,商务翻译课程应以典型翻译工作流程来设计教学环节,真正将职业能力的培养和岗位需求结合起来。例如,以会展陪同翻译这一模块为例,可安排以下仿真商务活动流程:国际名家具(东莞)展览会与外宾初次接触——参观家具厂、了解产品——商务合作洽谈——合同签订——庆功宴会——机场送行。实践教学中可穿插项目化教学法、模拟情景教学、角色扮演和合作学习法等,各种 方法 各有侧重、相互渗透、灵活多变,从“以教师为中心”转为“以学生为中心”,从注重“理论教学”转为“实践教学”,从“被动学习”转为“主动学习”,真正凸显高职教育特色。此外,还应加强语音室和口译实训室的建设,设立校企合作实训基地,做到教学、实践、服务一体化,为学生提供真实的职业氛围,让翻译教学更贴近实际、贴近市场、贴近岗位。

5结语

英语翻译方向论文范文二:高校英语翻译中西方 文化 论文

一、中西方文化在英语翻译方面的差异性

宗教文化也是众多文化中的一种表现形式,其也会因信仰的不同而产生一定的差异。中国的宗教门派众多,但是主要的可以分为道家、佛家和儒家这三个主要的流派。不同的教派具有不同的教义,如中国道家主张人和神仙是可以相互转化的;佛教则主张佛祖则是至高无上的神,其法力无边,这也可以从我国古代语言中明显看出。汉语中有“天命不可违”、“借花献佛”和“不看僧面看佛面”等的语言表达。而西方则主要以__为主,他们只承认上帝是万事万物的主宰,其无所不能,这在西方语言中也可以明显的看出来。如“Manproposes,Goddisposes”(谋事在人,成事在天)、“GodiswhereHewas”(上帝无所不在)和“Heavenisaboveall”(上帝高于一切)等。因此,为了达到翻译忠实原意的目的,我们必须要充分了解中西宗教文化的差异性。

二、提高高校英语翻译质量的策略

(一)导入异国文化

中西翻译的差异性。因此,为了提高学生对于英语翻译的认识度和理解度,教师需要在英语翻译教学的过程中为学生们导入到量的异国文化。通过将英语翻译与文化学习二者进行有机地结合来提高学生们英语翻译的水平。但是特别需要注意一点就是,教师在导入异国文化的过程中要始终本着由易到难、由浅入深的原则。此外,教师除了要为学生们普及一些西方文化知识外,还需要为学生们普及一些西方文化习俗的来源。例如,英语中有“raincatsanddogs”的习语,这句话用汉语可以表述为“倾盆大雨”,但是如果按照直白的翻译就会理解为“下猫跟狗”,这样就明显偏离了翻译的本意。这句习语主要来源于北欧的神话 传说 ,传说猫跟狗对于风和雨等天气具有很强的预测能力。又如“asstrongasahorse”(壮如牛),但是如果单纯的按照意思来理解则成了“壮如马”了等。如果学生对于这个文化背景不了解,则会出现上述可笑的误译现象。

(二)介绍英汉语言结构上的差异性

英语结构区别于汉语结构,其重视主题句和主体结构的构成以及 句子 结构连接过渡词的作用,并且侧重用介词和连词来表示句子和词组之间的逻辑关系,这种现象在汉语中则很少用或几乎不用。另外,英语表述中特别忌讳重复,如果出现重复的问题,通常用省略、替换或代词的形式来加以表示,但是我们汉语中常用重复来表示强调。

(三)讲解一些常用的翻译技巧

在学生掌握了上述英语翻译的基本知识之后,教师需要为学生讲解一些常用的翻译技巧,从而让学生们学会如何通过删减或增加词语来使语句变得更加通顺。常用的翻译技巧主要包括词类转换、增删词语以及拆分语句等手段。首先,词类转换作为一种有效的翻译手段,其主要是将那些由动词转化来的名词或具有动作意义类型的名词后接of的形式按照汉语中动宾 短语 来进行翻译即可。其次,英语和汉语之间的结构表述有所不同,只有通过增加或删减词汇才能够使意思更加忠实原文的含义。总之,中西文化差异性对于英语翻译具有重要的影响。为了提高学生英语翻译能力,教师必须要在教学实践中让学生充分地了解西方的文化传统,从而使学生做到“知己知彼”,然后并要在基础上教授给学生英语翻译的一些技巧,从而达到提高高校翻译教学质量的目的。

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation

I. Purpose and Significance

With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.

It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.

Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.

II. Literature Review

Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.

With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.

Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.

I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.

Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.

In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.

I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.

In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.

III. Feasibility Analysis

This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:

have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.

have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .

have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in

translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.

have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.

have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.

instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.

IV. Problems of the research and solutions

1. Problems

Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.

2. Solutions

(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.

(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.

(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.

V. Necessary conditions

1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.

3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.
