论古代中西交流中的葡萄文化

葡萄文化是世界文化中的重要组成部分。地中海东岸以及小亚、中亚地区是最早种植葡萄和酿造葡萄酿酒的地区。葡萄文化的传播首先是在地中海周围地区。中国种植葡萄和用葡萄酿酒最早是在西域,自西汉以后开始东传,促进了中原地区葡萄种植和葡萄酒业的发展。唐代以后,中原地区葡萄种植业和葡萄酿酒业有了较大发展。葡萄种植和葡萄酒酿造技术的输入,是古代中国人善于吸收外来技术的例子之一。     

东亚货币一体化:理论基础、可行性及前景瞻望

伴随着经济全球化的发展,区域货币一体化已成为一种新的潮流。特别是1997年亚洲金融危机所产生的严重后果,唤起了东亚各国对区域金融合作的极大关注。为了防止新的金融危机的爆发,应对世界范围内区域货币一体化潮流的强烈挑战,开展有效的地区货币合作。未来亚洲货币合作的发展前景,将集中于以下三个层次:首先应建立东亚区域性紧急融资机制;其次应改革东亚汇率制度安排,建立类似欧洲汇率机制(ERM)的亚洲汇率联动机制;最后逐步过渡到亚洲单一货币区(ACA)。总的来说,未来东亚货币一体化仍具有巨大的发展空间。     

中西文化差异与翻译

翻译是跨文化的交际行为,翻译的目的和特点是语言文化的交流。熟悉两种文化和掌握两种语言同样重要。因此,本文着重讨论中西文化的差异,将英汉两种语言受文化差异影响而产生的不同表达方式进行比较,进而指出如何在翻译中进行合理恰当的文化转换,完成翻译的文化交流之使命。     

东海渔歌语言的韵律美

从渔民捕捞作业中产生的渔歌是民歌中富有特色的一枝.东海渔歌数量庞大,豪放优美,幽默质朴,风格多样,在我国渔歌中颇具代表性.渔歌除了可从其乐曲和歌词内容进行研究外,还可以从其语言形式上进行分析.以东海渔歌为例,单就其言辞节奏韵律美的角度,能够欣赏其无穷的魅力.     

Child‐free and unmarried: Changes in the life planning of young east German women

Using evidence from demographic and survey data, this research examines how one decade of postsocialism has changed the life planning of young East German women. Aggregate data reflect marriage and fertility postponement and increased nonmarital birth rates and cohabitation. The analysis shows East German women's “stubbornness” ( Dölling, 2003 ) in adhering to life perspectives in line with the German Democratic Republic (GDR) standard biography (high nonmarital childbearing, high work orientation, rejection of the homemaker status, desire to combine work and family). The most important findings are that (a) motherhood is postponed to increase child‐free time, (b) cohabitation is increasingly becoming an alternative to marriage, (c) marriage (but not partnership) is increasingly optional for childbearing, and (d) employment is prioritized over family formation.     

试论犹太教与反犹主义的关系及对中东和平进程的影响

犹太教以其极为鲜明的民族性特征,成为西方历史上掀起的一次次反犹、排犹运动的主要依据,给犹太人带来了巨大的灾难。以色列成立后,很大程度上由于犹太教理念的因素,使巴以冲突迟迟得不到解决,将另外一个无辜民族——巴勒斯坦人长期置身于苦难的深渊。与此同时,以色列也不能够完全实现自己的和平。     

18世纪英国在印度的贸易统治

第一帝国时期,英国在亚洲的历史以18世纪中期为界可分成两个阶段:第一阶段英国东印度公司在印度的贸易和势力渐进发展;第二阶段,东印度公司的政策发生了重大改变,一方面是这一时期印度国内出现一种政治混乱的局面,另一方面,英国与法国等殖民国家在印度的商业竞争日益激烈,东印度公司开始谋求通过获得领土来确立自己的贸易地位,战争成为实现这一目标的手段.     

从徐公山岛看舟山海洋历史文化

地处长江口的弹丸小岛徐公山岛,曾有3000多年前的徐偃王南渡踪迹,2200多年前徐福东渡传闻和930多年前日僧成寻西渡记述,汇聚了舟山海洋历史文化的厚重沉淀和灿烂光束,具有独特的历史价值。     

由伊拉克战争论“文明冲突论”本质

9·11事件仿佛揭开了伊斯兰文明与西方文明冲突的序幕。这场冲突具有宗教文化差异的表象性,但根本的原因是利益之争。可以说,西方人提出文明冲突是为维持其霸权制造理由。前不久发生的美伊战争就是一场美英为争夺中东势力范围挑起的侵略战争,并不具有文明冲突的特征。     

Social protection assessment‐based national dialogue exercises: Cambodia,Indonesia, Thailand,Viet Nam

Between 2011 and 2013, the International Labour Organization, in collaboration with governments and several United Nations agencies working as part of the Social Protection Floor Initiative, conducted social protection assessment‐based national dialogue (ABND) exercises in Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand and Viet Nam. The exercises were carried out in order to take stock of existing social protection realities in the respective countries, including social insurance, social assistance and anti‐poverty programmes. These inventories present a comprehensive picture of what elements of national social protection floors (SPFs) are in place, where “holes” in national floors exist, and provide a framework within which to propose recommendations for the further design and implementation of social protection provisions that guarantee at least the SPF to the entire population. This article describes the methodology for conducting ABND exercises, the situational analysis of the SPF in four countries, and the policy recommendations that were formulated for achieving basic health care and income security for children, the working‐age population and the elderly. The results of preliminary calculations of the cost of implementing proposed policy options are also outlined.
