从空间批评视角解读乔伊斯的《小云朵》

空间批评关注空间的社会文化等属性，文本中的空间是一种蕴含多维意义的指涉系统。乔伊斯的短篇小说《小云朵》分别从景观空间、社会空间和个体空间3个角度呈现精神瘫痪的都柏林：景观空间反映都柏林社会的沉闷压抑、毫无生气、令人窒息；社会空间为情节提供发展的广度；个人空间则折射出主人公压抑的心情。这3种空间成为小说中的一种指涉系统，成功展现都柏林这座瘫痪中心的全景。     

"E.C."之谜--解读乔伊斯情诗中的叙事读者

通过对乔伊斯爱情诗的简要文体分析,并结合小说中的具体人物形象以及乔伊斯的真实生活,对诗中的叙事读者“你”,即小说中的“E.C.”的原型人物提出了新的看法:“你”是四个女子的复合形象,分别代表孩童时期的EileenVance,中学时期的MarySheehy,青年时期的MarieElizabethCorelli和乔伊斯的生活伴侣NoraNarnacle的形象,而后者却被中外评论家所忽略。     

论乔伊斯的语言观

在 2 0世纪西方现代派作家中 ,詹姆斯·乔伊斯以语言实验著称。他的反传统的语言观 ,认为小说家应该突出小说语言的地位 ,使之从传情达意的工具的边缘位置进入读者的意识中心 ,并脱离其指涉的内容而成为独立的审美对象。作者追溯乔伊斯的创作历程 ,结合当时的文化语境并以其主要作品为例 ,论述该语言观的产生及发展过程     

The weighted likelihood

The authors consider a weighted version of the classical likelihood that applies when the need is felt to diminish the role of some of the data in order to trade bias for precision. They propose an axiomatic derivation of the weighted likelihood, for which they show that aspects of classical theory continue to obtain. They suggest a data‐based method of selecting the weights and show that it leads to the James‐Stein estimator in various contexts. They also provide applications.     

Child global rating scales: Selecting a measure of client functioning in a large mental health system

The Global Assessment Scale for Children (GAS-Children) and the Children's Impairment Scale (CIS) were examined for inter-rater reliability, discrimination of outpatients from inpatients, and clinician acceptance. Forty-four clinicians used the two scales to rate 146 recently admitted children and adolescents in eight mental health programs. An additional study assessed the inter-rater reliability of the two scales compared with the Connors Parent-Teacher Questionnaire and the correlation of the GAS-Children with both the Connors Parents Questionnaire and Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist. The GAS-Children showed better interrater agreement than any of the four subscales of the CIS, although the sum of the CIS subscales also showed adequate inter-rater reliability. Among adolescents, the GAS-Children correlated highly with the adult GAS, but the scales showed different mean values. Clinicians slightly preferred the GAS-Children over the CIS. To assess comparability of scale usage across sites, clinicians rated six case vignettes. Inpatient clinicians rated the vignettes as more dysfunctional than did their outpatient counterparts. Bias-adjusted scores still discriminated outpatient from inpatient children. Nevertheless, these rater biases should make evaluators cautious about comparing functioning scores across programs, even when the rating scale is ostensibly the same.     

Changing stakeholder needs and changing evaluator roles: the Central Valley Partnership of the James Irvine foundation

This case describes the changing roles of an evaluator as the program he was evaluating changed and developed, and as the needs of his client and primary intended users changed over time. The focus in this case is on the relationship between the external evaluator and the staff of a philanthropic foundation as a major initiative unfolded. The focus of the evaluation was learning and improvement, and as the evaluator developed recommendations for organizational capacity-building, he was commissioned by the foundation to implement his own recommendations, a form of developmental evaluation. The case explores the dynamics and challenges of such an arrangement and relationship. Those involved have agreed to have their real names used because this is a highly visible initiative and attempting to disguise the foundation and key players might undermine, in this instance, the authenticity of the case. The initiative that is the focus of the case is the Central Valley Partnership of The James Irvine Foundation headquartered in San Francisco.     

布鲁斯与破碎的梦想——解读詹姆斯·琼斯的《从这里到永恒》

美国小说家詹姆斯·琼斯的代表作《从这里到永恒》（1951）描写了二战爆发前驻守夏威夷的美国士兵的军旅生活。在小说中，布鲁斯音乐不仅作为展示士兵业余爱好和娱乐生活的一种方式在小说中数次出现，而且成为一种特殊的象征符号预示着人物命运的走向，并推动着故事情节的发展。本文试图以布鲁斯为切入点，将其与小说所反映的美国20世纪三四十年代广阔的社会背景联系起来，分析布鲁斯承载的文化意义的流变在这一时期的具体表现，再将其与小说主题相结合，进而探讨布鲁斯音乐与小说文本的互动。     

从理雅各《尚书》译本看经典复译问题

理雅各《尚书》译本问世至今一直被奉为儒经翻译“标准译本”,然而我们仍可从中找到不少“遗憾”：有理解方面的,也有表达方面的,有拼写或文献标注方面的,也有结论方面的。这一事实再次证明：金无足赤,译无定译,经典永远呼唤新译本。经典复译不仅必要,而且有一些原则需要遵守。理氏《尚书》译本给我们的启示有：以“信”为本,调和“显化”和“异化”,拒绝过度“归化”,实行“合作共享”。
