描写翻译研究评介

从规范性翻译的不足入手,说明描写翻译研究出现的必然性,介绍了描写翻译研究的起源和定义,探讨了描写翻译研究的两个观点:翻译的"不完整性"和"任何翻译都经过了译者不同程度的操纵",以及描写翻译研究的两个原则:"相互依赖原则"和"功能优先原则"。指出了描写翻译研究的价值。     

A qualitative comparative analysis of strategies for an ageing society, with special reference to pension and employment policies

The primary purpose of this study is to typify the respondent strategies of the OECD countries based on the interconnected structure of income and employment guarantees. More specifically, this article seeks to typify welfare policies into four types (welfare-to-work, welfare emphasis, labour emphasis, market emphasis) based on the leniency of the pension system and active state intervention in employment security. With the resultant four types, this article then places them as the dependent variable while incorporating per capita GDP, aged dependency ratio, pension maturity level, union density, constitutional structure index and degree of decommodification as causal variables. Through this process, this article aims to derive the decisive variable for each type through qualitative comparative analysis.

诠释学与比较文学的发展

互动认知研究的空间是变动、开放、动态的空间。双向诠释即是首先了解对方,然后从对方的角度和视野来观察和进一步了解自己,使双方对自己和对方都有了新的认识。重视从“他者”反观自身的理论逐渐为广大理论界所接受。一些非汉学家的理论家开始以一种“非中心论”的心态来探讨西方和非西方文化,并以此为基础建构新的理论,这就从根本上动摇了西方中心论的基石。比较文学和比较文化研究迅速突破了封闭的西方文化体系,进入西方文化与非西方文化相互参照的范围。西方学术界原来互不相干的汉学研究、文学理论研究、比较文学研究正在迅速靠拢,并实现互补、互识、互证。     

Consistencies and Inconsistencies: Mental Health, Compulsory Treatment and Community Capacity Building in England, Wales and Australia

In relation to mental health, it is clear that medicalized underpinnings,the provision of a clinically orientated evidence base for practiceand the need to contain ‘risk’ continue to be prioritized,particularly when compulsory intervention is considered. Thisis despite the increasing influence of a citizenship and socialjustice agenda which is being promoted by psychiatrists involvedin the development of ‘postpsychiatry’, as wellas by service users/survivors. These drivers are not mutuallyexclusive, but in the context of compulsory treatment, thereare clear tensions. In this article, the policy surroundingmental health and compulsory intervention in Australia and inEngland and Wales is explored. In the context of this discussion,three ways in which current government policy can be interpretedare examined and links made between these interpretations anddifferent ways of viewing the relationship between mental healthand community capacity building. With regard to social workpractice, it is argued that a response to mental ill healthwhich concentrates on an individualized ‘diagnose andtreat’ approach, which particularly comes to the foreat times of compulsory intervention, has limited capacity tofacilitate community engagement, foster social inclusion andgenerate reciprocal dynamics between positive mental healthand community capacity building.     

文学文体学:文学与语言学的交叉与融会

语言学侧重形式研究,其本质特征是描写;文学批评侧重内容研究,其最大魅力是阐释。文学文体学是语言学与文学批评的交叉学科,它既重视语言学的描写,又重视文学批评的阐释。文章试图说明文学文体学的这种跨学科特点。     

Human Salmonellosis: Estimation of Dose-Illness from Outbreak Data

The quantification of the relationship between the amount of microbial organisms ingested and a specific outcome such as infection, illness, or mortality is a key aspect of quantitative risk assessment. A main problem in determining such dose-response models is the availability of appropriate data. Human feeding trials have been criticized because only young healthy volunteers are selected to participate and low doses, as often occurring in real life, are typically not considered. Epidemiological outbreak data are considered to be more valuable, but are more subject to data uncertainty. In this article, we model the dose-illness relationship based on data of 20 Salmonella outbreaks, as discussed by the World Health Organization. In particular, we model the dose-illness relationship using generalized linear mixed models and fractional polynomials of dose. The fractional polynomial models are modified to satisfy the properties of different types of dose-illness models as proposed by Teunis et al . Within these models, differences in host susceptibility (susceptible versus normal population) are modeled as fixed effects whereas differences in serovar type and food matrix are modeled as random effects. In addition, two bootstrap procedures are presented. A first procedure accounts for stochastic variability whereas a second procedure accounts for both stochastic variability and data uncertainty. The analyses indicate that the susceptible population has a higher probability of illness at low dose levels when the combination pathogen-food matrix is extremely virulent and at high dose levels when the combination is less virulent. Furthermore, the analyses suggest that immunity exists in the normal population but not in the susceptible population.     

Consortium for Atlantic Regional Assessment: Information Tools for Community Adaptation to Changes in Climate or Land Use

To inform local and regional decisions about protecting short-term and long-term quality of life, the Consortium for Atlantic Regional Assessment (CARA) provides data and tools (for the northeastern United States) that can help decision makers understand how outcomes of their decisions could be affected by potential changes in both climate and land use. On an interactive, user-friendly website, CARA has amassed data on climate (historical records and future projections for seven global climate models), land cover, and socioeconomic and environmental variables, along with tools to help decision makers tailor the data for their own decision types and locations. CARA Advisory Council stakeholders help identify what information and tools stakeholders would find most useful and how to present these; they also provide in-depth feedback for subregion case studies. General lessons include: (1) decision makers want detailed local projections for periods short enough to account for extreme events, in contrast to the broader spatial and temporal observations and projections that are available or consistent at a regional level; (2) stakeholders will not use such a website unless it is visually appealing and easy to find the information they want; (3) some stakeholders need background while others want to go immediately to data, and some want maps while others want text or tables. This article also compares what has been learned across case studies of Cape May County, New Jersey, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Hampton Roads, Virginia, relating specifically to sea-level rise. Lessons include: (1) groups can be affected differently by physical dangers compared with economic dangers; (2) decisions will differ according to decision makers' preferences about waiting and risk tolerance; (3) future scenarios and maps can help assess the impacts of dangers to emergency evacuation routes, homes, and infrastructure, and the natural environment; (4) residents' and decision makers' perceptions are affected by information about potential local impacts from global climate change.     

《国际私法》课程的教学方法探讨

案例教学和差异比较法教学是适合《国际私法》课程特点的教学方式方法。其中 ,案例教学是将教学内容、教学目的和教学方法等融汇于特定的案例分析和评价的一种教学过程和教学组织架构 ,一般由案例的准备、呈现、问题、思与行、评价和回归教材 6个环节动态地建构而成 ;而差异比较法教学则是以一个特定的国家的法律为比较基准 ,通过对各被比较国家在同一问题上的法律规定作相应的对比和分析 ,找出相应的差异并进一步探索国际私法的基本原理和解决法律冲突的方法的一种教学过程和教学方法 ,一般包括准备、实体法上的差异比较、法律冲突、解决冲突的方案、冲突规范的比较、综合评价 6个步骤。教师在《国际私法》课程的教学过程中应精心设计和实施案例教学和差异比较法教学且应将二者结合运用
