广告英语中双关语的翻译

双关语的可译性一直是翻译界争论的热点。语言、文化及表达习惯的差异,使双关语翻译难以兼顾其双重含义。"功能对等"理论以译语读者为中心,注重译文在译语语言和文化环境中所预期达到的功能,为双关语的翻译另辟蹊径。对英语广告中双关语的翻译来说,译文只要能产生与原文相似的广告效应,能使译文读者获得与原文读者近乎相同的感受就是成功的翻译。

师生人际距离新论

人际距离是影响人际关系的一个重要因素,贯穿于整个教育过程中的师生距离是人际关系的重要内容,是影响师生交往,进而影响教育教学效果的一个关键因素.师生距离到底该近还是该远,一直是教育理论界热衷的话题.本文结合多年实践中的教育实例,就师生距离的远近问题作一新探讨与解读.     

中国加入八国集团研究

八国集团对世界事务的影响举足轻重,中国对于是否加入八国集团表现的顾虑重重。究其原因,一是担心八国集团会架空联合国;二是中国考虑到自己是一个发展中国家,而八国集团从本质上来说是一个富国俱乐部;三是八国集团曾经在1989年制裁过我们。但是,我们加入八国集团却有许多好处:一是可以更好的改善中美关系;二是可以吸引和争取更多的投资和贷款;三是可以从八国集团的内部影响八国集团的决策;四是符合我们的大国外交战略。相反,如果我们长期远离八国集团,就可能在将来被边缘化。在加入的方式上,中国可以先以观察员的身份列席八国首脑会议,等待合适时机,正式加入。     

If you look like me,I'll talk to you: a preliminary study of ethnic identity and inter‐ethnic interaction among women in Singapore

In Singapore, government policy is for equal but separate development of the four major ethnic groups—Chinese, Malay, Indian and other. In this study, I attempt to gain some preliminary views of how strongly women identify with their own ethnic group and how freely they are prepared to interact with people from other ethnic groups in non‐work‐related situations. I confine my study to females for two reasons. One is that traditional ethnic dress is common among females in Singapore but much rarer among men, and this makes a strong non‐verbal statement of identity. The second reason is to avoid differences between males and females, which I did not wish to pursue within the limits of this exploratory study. The findings of my pilot investigation indicate that intra‐ethnic spontaneous interaction is more likely to occur among women who display a strong national identity. Moreover, younger women, who were exposed during their school years to the government's recent drive to nurture ethnic and cultural differences, are less open to inter‐ethnic interaction than are women in their 30s and older, who grew up when the government drive was towards creating one common national identity for the people of Singapore.     

Employment and filial relations: Is there a conflict?

Since children, particularly daughters, are among the most important sources of help and support for older Americans, it has been suggested that women's increasing employment will affect filial relations. Empirical evidence on this issue is inconsistent, in part due to the use of nonprobability samples. Few studies have measured effects for men. We attempt to broaden the scope of this question beyond help to the frail elderly by asking whether employment affects filial relations in general. We examine effects of hours employed on telephone contact, visiting, feelings of closeness, filial attitudes, and assistance to biological parents, for an area probability sample of men and women over 40. There are no effects of employment for men or women on contact, closeness, or assistance. For the vast majority of this population sample, contact and assistance involve few hours per week, and thus do not seem to conflict with employment.

A Unified Approach to the Characterization of Equivalence Classes of DAGs, Chain Graphs with no Flags and Chain Graphs

Abstract.  A Markov property associates a set of conditional independencies to a graph. Two alternative Markov properties are available for chain graphs (CGs), the Lauritzen–Wermuth–Frydenberg (LWF) and the Andersson–Madigan– Perlman (AMP) Markov properties, which are different in general but coincide for the subclass of CGs with no flags . Markov equivalence induces a partition of the class of CGs into equivalence classes and every equivalence class contains a, possibly empty, subclass of CGs with no flags itself containing a, possibly empty, subclass of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). LWF-Markov equivalence classes of CGs can be naturally characterized by means of the so-called largest CGs , whereas a graphical characterization of equivalence classes of DAGs is provided by the essential graphs . In this paper, we show the existence of largest CGs with no flags that provide a natural characterization of equivalence classes of CGs of this kind, with respect to both the LWF- and the AMP-Markov properties. We propose a procedure for the construction of the largest CGs, the largest CGs with no flags and the essential graphs, thereby providing a unified approach to the problem. As by-products we obtain a characterization of graphs that are largest CGs with no flags and an alternative characterization of graphs which are largest CGs. Furthermore, a known characterization of the essential graphs is shown to be a special case of our more general framework. The three graphical characterizations have a common structure: they use two versions of a locally verifiable graphical rule. Moreover, in case of DAGs, an immediate comparison of three characterizing graphs is possible.     

Some Notes on Workplace Equality Renewal in the Swedish Labour Market

In 2001, Swedish authorities imposed a new obligation upon all firms with ten or more employees to undertake annual wage surveys, ‘workplace equality audits’ in which it is possible to ascertain, remedy and prevent unwarranted wage differentials and other unfair employment terms between men and women. An important implication of the new system, called ‘workplace equality renewal’ (självsanering), is that, at the level of the firm all Swedish employers must explain what they mean by work of ‘equal value’ as opposed to ‘different value’. This article discusses the practical pros and cons of the new system, and considers how the surveys can be used in research into the present state of gendered work division. A main finding is that the introduction of this new legislation in the long run might change the Swedish industrial relations system as well as the preconditions for many companies’ human resource management policies. Yet, neither the governmental agencies involved nor the parties’ confederate organizations have been able to clarify what the issue is really about to the single, small business employer or to the local trade union branches. Many employers find any interference, whatever it may be, threatening and trade unions have not realized the potentialities of the system from an employee perspective, potentialities connected to the fact that companies are now more or less forced to make transparent their wage policies at large.     

辽朝汉族文人心态透视

辽朝的汉族文人是辽境内高水平文化的负载者,其生存状态和心理状态对本朝文学的影响十分显著。对他们的社会心理进行研究有着重要的学术意义。辽朝汉族文人的政治态度在前期呈离心趋势,至中期则表现为向心趋势,辽亡前后则以灵活性、变通性为主要特征。民族关系的变动是影响汉族文人心态的最基本的因素。
