英汉翻译中的信息转换

翻译是因社会需要而产生的一种活动 ,在社会中扮演某种角色 ,因此译者及其译本在社会中也起着重要的作用。由于每个社会群体都有自己的共有知识 ,每一种语言都有其文化特点和表达习惯 ,因此译者在其翻译过程中就要考虑用适合目的语读者的语言把原文信息重新表达出来。重新表达不仅需要词法、句法方面的转换 ,还需要采取一些补偿措施对信息进行删减、重组、异化、归化等 ,这样才能把原文的信息适当地传递给目的语读者     

Loss functions for estimation of extrema with an application to disease mapping

It is often of interest to find the maximum or near maxima among a set of vector‐valued parameters in a statistical model; in the case of disease mapping, for example, these correspond to relative‐risk “hotspots” where public‐health intervention may be needed. The general problem is one of estimating nonlinear functions of the ensemble of relative risks, but biased estimates result if posterior means are simply substituted into these nonlinear functions. The authors obtain better estimates of extrema from a new, weighted ranks squared error loss function. The derivation of these Bayes estimators assumes a hidden‐Markov random‐field model for relative risks, and their behaviour is illustrated with real and simulated data.     

关于外汇期货套期保值比率的实证研究

最佳套期保值比率(OHR)的估计方法一直是金融工程理论研究的核心问题,从最开始的幼稚法到JSE法 以及随后的很多其他改进方法,保值效率都有不同程度的提高。使用包含误差修正结构的GARCH模型估计外汇 (澳大利亚元)期货的套期保值比率。通过效率比较,证实该模型所得到的套期保值比率比起传统方法都具有更好 的降低风险能力。

分歧共识展望--10余年来国内全球化理论研究述评

由于主客观方面的多种原因，我国学者对全球化若干问题和理论观点的认识存在诸多分歧：全球化是客观的自然过程，还是主观的意识形态；全球化是单一的经济全球化，还是政治、文化、社会等整体的全球化；全球化是趋同化、一体化、单质化，还是多样化、民族化、异质化；全球化是物的全球化，还是人的全球化；等等。不同思想、观点相互碰撞、交锋，在争议中逐渐达成了一些基本共识：全球化至少经济全球化是一种客观存在；全球化是一种动态的过程；经济全球化不可避免地对世界政治、文化和社会生活产生影响；全球化具有主客观性：全球化过程内在地充满着矛盾；全球化是机遇与挑战并存，利益与弊端同在；现实的全球化是不公平的；等等。正确认识我国全球化理论研究中存在的问题，有利于明确下一阶段的努力方向。     

Modelling map positional error to infer true feature location

The authors consider the issue of map positional error, or the difference between location as represented in a spatial database (i.e., a map) and the corresponding unobservable true location. They propose a fully model‐based approach that incorporates aspects of the map registration process commonly performed by users of geographic informations systems, including rubber‐sheeting. They explain how estimates of positional error can be obtained, hence estimates of true location. They show that with multiple maps of varying accuracy along with ground truthing data, suitable model averaging offers a strategy for using all of the maps to learn about true location.     

论语言交际与方言的"乡土根性"

本文论述了语言交际中的共同语与方言的固习性之间的关系 ,并从肖伯纳戏剧《卖花女》切入 ,阐述了标准英语与方言的优劣。笔者调查研究了在英国剑桥学习的 3 0名中国留学生的英语语音情况 ,结果显示汉语方言中鼻音n与l边音分辨不清者 ,对英语中 [n]和 [l]的正确发音具有持久的障碍性 ,即“乡土根性”。克服这种障碍的最佳办法并非语言环境 ,而是语言学习中所采取的策略     

论全球化背景下国际私法中的国家主权观--由国家利益本位向国际社会利益趋向的转化

主权原则是国际私法中的一项基本原则。在国际私法中长期以来都存在国家利益优先的倾向,但随着全球化趋势的日益增强,传统国际私法中的主权观已越来越不适应国际民商事交往蓬勃发展的现实。全球化带来的是全球法律文明的趋同化,由此伴随着全球共同利益的产生。国际私法作为处理国际民商事法律冲突的法律部门,必须对这种国际社会利益做出反应,把对人权的尊重和保护作为追求正义价值的基本向度。     

共同背景和梦想下的相互依存——对《人与鼠》中两人物对话的分析

心理语言学家认为交谈者双方的诸多特性因素无疑会影响交谈过程的本质,这些特性包括交谈双方的年龄、性别、社会地位、种族背景、友谊的程度和关系的亲密程度.由美国著名作家约翰·斯坦贝克所著的《人与鼠》是一部极其感人并长期为读者喜爱的作品.该作品描写了两个劳动工人间真挚的友谊,相互依存以及共同的梦想.从《人与鼠》中,我们可以得知两人物之间的对话是有特性的,他们真势的友谊,相互依存以及共同的梦想是影响其交流方式最重要的特性.通过分析其背景,共同话题,共同梦想,我们可以总结出两人物的谈话方式是与心理语言学交谈的本质特性相符.     

An evaluation of the childhood family structure measures from the sixth wave of the British Household Panel Survey

Summary.  The paper performs an evaluation of the data that were collected in the sixth wave of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) on childhood family structure. After comparing such data with a large number of studies by using external sources, we find that the BHPS data overestimate the proportion of people who report an experience of life in a non-intact family during childhood by about 10%. Although an explanation based on recall error that deteriorates with the age of the BHPS respondents is possible, the overestimation is likely to be accounted for by non-ignorable attrition that may affect most of the comparison studies based on longitudinal data. Conversely, comparisons with other independent measurements from the BHPS itself reveal that the wave 6 data underestimate the proportion of young people who have lived at least part of their childhood in a non-intact family by about 8%. The probability of disagreement between these two sets of measures is strongly associated with poor interview characteristics, which may affect the comparison measure more than the wave 6 measure. Despite such differences, there is therefore a substantial degree of similarity between the family structure information that was collected in the sixth wave of the BHPS and the host of highly diverse records against which it has been compared.
