深广与幽幻：格雷与义山诗歌感伤意绪比较

英国文学中Sentimentalism译成中文为感伤主义,而感伤是中国古典文学中一以贯之的传统主题.感伤主义代表诗人托马斯·格雷与中国感伤主义文学传统的集大成者李商隐就在时空交错里相遇了,本文拟将二者诗歌中的感伤意绪进行一个简单对比,试图发掘出其所掩盖的文化差异.     

论世界的永恒--托马斯·阿奎那与波纳文图拉之争及其意义

世界是不是永恒的,以及在基督教信仰的基础上,如何理解和看待世界的永恒性,是中世纪神哲学争论的重大问题.托马斯*阿奎那认为,世界有开端乃信仰的对象,属于教理神学的信条,理性对之无能为力,自然理性既不能证明世界的永恒性,也不能证明世界不是永恒而有开端的;波纳文图拉则坚持"世界有开端"是理性可以证明的.他们的争论正好构成康德四个二律背反的第一个.     

Communicating science to the public through targeted messages

The process of communicating science-based information through the mass media is often not the most effective way to meet the information needs of audiences. In many instances these needs can be met more effectively and efficiently through targeted messages. These are communication products that fill, in as direct a manner as possible, the information needs of specialized audiences.Although targeted messages occasionally are prepared for the mass media, more often they are communicated via booklets, brochures, audiovisual materials and other media that best reach the intended audience, allowing for limitations of budget and time.A model for producing and disseminating targeted science messages in the area of youth and family development is presented, and several case histories are described. The principal benefit of this model is that it permits scientists a measure of responsibility for the accuracy and validity of what is being communicated, and at the same time, assures that the product meets the needs of its audience.     

Evaluating correctional health care. The lessons of New York City.

New York City's correctional health care system is a complicated one, with many component parts. Correspondingly, the task of developing an evaluation process to assess this system turned out to be complex as well. The major responsibility for developing such a process and for keeping it in motion lies with the Contract Evaluation Unit of the Department of Health. Our experiences in meeting these challenges, as well as the historical and institutional factors that have influenced our efforts, should be of interest to professional groups facing similar tasks in other localities and to readers curious about how particular health service evaluation approaches take form. This article describes our method, how it emerged, and that it entails, with an eye toward identifying what might usefully be applied to the study of other correctional health care services and settings.     

金斯密《道德经》译介中的跨文化操纵

1899年,英国汉学家金斯密在《中国评论》上将《道德经》译介到了英语世界,为推动19世纪《道德经》在英语世界的传播和影响作出了一定贡献。但由于受"西方中心主义"思想以及西方学术文化和基督教意识形态影响,他在译介《道德经》过程中用西方的诗学观念和意识形态指导自己的翻译过程,对原文实施了跨文化操纵。具体操纵手段表现为:文化意象替代、增添、删减和改写。
