Thinking Chinese Translation: A Course in Translation Method: Chinese to English (Thinking Translation)


Thinking Chinese Translation is a practical and comprehensive course for advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students of Chinese. Thinking Chinese Translation explores the ways in which memory, general knowledge, and creativity (summed up as ‘schema’) contribute to the linguistic ability necessary to create a good translation. The course develops the reader’s ability to think deeply about the texts and to produce natural and accurate translations from Chinese into English. A wealth of relevant illustrative material is presented, taking the reader through a number of different genres and text types of increasing complexity including: technical, scientific and legal texts journalistic and informative texts literary and dramatic texts. Each chapter provides a discussion of the issues of a particular text type based on up-to-date scholarship, followed by practical translation exercises. The chapters can be read independently as research material, or in combination with the exercises. The issues discussed range from the fine detail of the text, such as punctuation, to the broader context of editing, packaging and publishing translations. Major aspects of teaching and learning translation, such as collaboration, are also covered. Thinking Chinese Translation is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of Chinese and translation studies. The book will also appeal to a wide range of language students and tutors through the general discussion of the principles and purpose of translation.

Changing Schools: Alternative Ways to Make a World of Difference (English and Chinese Edition)

Changing Schools: Alternative Ways to Make a World of Difference (English and Chinese Edition)


Changing Schools places educational and social aims at the centre of a discussion of educational change. It draws on forteen case studies to explore school change which is oriented towards social justice and democracy. In an age of global mobility, economic polarization and unprecedented environmental and cultural challenges, the education of all children and young people to higher levels has become a key issue of international policy. Educational reform in such a context requires a serious rethinking and reworking of school and classroom practices. Social justice is integral to the challenge of raising standards, since this requires removing the ongoing influence of poverty on school success. This thoughtful book presents new thinking and practice for bringing about school change, drawn from diverse contexts around the world. It distils and compares the experiences and theories-in-action of engaged teachers, school principals and academics. It seeks to challenge the dominance that human capital theories of school improvement currently hold on policy making. The authors draw on contemporary innovations in practice and theory and also long-standing traditions of alternative thinking and practice. Linking together and articulating other ways of conceiving of and implementing school change, the collection bases its findings on values of equality and global citizenship. It shows how schools can work to make different languages, knowledge, narratives, and truths integral to the mainstream curriculum, everyday pedagogy, assessment and general culture of the school. Changing Schools is directed at all who are concerned with progressive school change and the promotion of democratic citizenship and social justice. It will prove an invaluable source of inspiration for all involved in schools, including teachers, head teachers, policy makers, and those currently studying for school leadership positions.

Learning Chinese with Signs (English and Chinese Edition)

Learning Chinese with Signs (English and Chinese Edition)


"Learning Chinese with Signs" provides supplementary material for learner at Beginning to Intermediate Levels. It can be used for both native speakers of English, and those who can use English as an intermediary language. Since different schools in different places have varying requirements or the number of hours spent in class and varying language objectives, we have included task-based activities of various levels to provide maximum flexibility to teachers. We have also added English translations for convenience. It is not necessary to use all the activities in this book. Teachers should choose those activities which are appropriate according to the needs of their students. This textbook was written according to the core concepts presented in "The Standards for Foreign Language Education in the 21st Century" by the American Council on the teaching of Foreign Languages. Included here are"The 5Cs": Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparison and Communities; and the three modes of communication: interpersonal, interpretive and persentational. Please refer to the table in Appendix I that shows how the textbook content corresponds to the 5Cs. It is hoped that the signs presented in this book will allow students to understand Chinese life and culture, simulate real-life problems they may encounter, as well as stimulate them to communicate in order to find solutions to such problums. AS previously stated, this book is not intended as primary textbook; rather it is suitable as a supplement to whatever main textbook the teacher choose. As such, we have done a comparison of topics that appear in several frequently used textbooks in Appendix II of this book to aid teachers in helping students extend, connect and apply their acquired knowledge to daily life. Focus is placed on the practical functions of language. The contents are diverse and include both graphics as well as text. Learners are exposed to authentic and common written Chinese in the goal of broadening their horizons. The signs and posters in this book have been selected from a collection of over two thousand photographs and are commonly seen in Chinese society. Readers may see these signs in mainland China, Taiwan and Chinatowns worldwide. Each topic presented is accompanied by various forms of interesting exercises that allow learners to compare cultures, express their views and devenlop problem-solving skills. The textbook consists of 24 lessons in total: 22 regular lessons and 2 for review. Themes were chosen by referencing secondary school and college textbooks that are currently widespread in the United states, including"Intergrated Chinese" ; "Huanying" "Chinese Link" ; "New Practical Chinese Reader"; "Chinese for Youth" ; "NI Hao";, "Chinese Made Easy"; etc. Topics include Introduction, Numbers, Dates, Time, Hobbies, Entertainment, Sports, Drinks, Foods, and Shopping, as well as school, Library, Medical Care, Parking, Transpotation, Safety, Travel and Airport.

Modality in English and Chinese: A Typological Perspective

Modality in English and Chinese: A Typological Perspective


Modality is a grammatical, or semantic-grammatical, category. It is an important component of human languages. This is at least the case in most European languages. To what extent is it a near-universal? This thesis is to contribute to the question. It focuses on modal verbs in English and Chinese, two genetically and geographically unrelated languages, and analyzes what these two languages have in common and how they differ in their systems of modality. To achieve the aim, the thesis adopts the theoretical framework proposed by van der Auwera (1996, 1998 with Plungian, 2001) for the typological study of modality. Its language-specific descriptions involve the morphosyntactic features, notional functions, modal logic, and diachronic development. With these descriptions, it constructs a cross-linguistic database in a uniform, parallel structure. Then on the basis of this database, it deals with the cross-linguistic issues about modality in English and Chinese. Like many of the studies in this area, this research makes use of the well-sampled data in the relevant literature, thereby assuring the same degree of representativeness. When the data do not meet this need, it resorts to computer-based corpora. In the diachronic study of Chinese modality, quantitative analysis is adopted in proposing a development path for the senses of a modal. English translation is given particular attention in the description of Chinese modality and cross-linguistic analyses. One can only know one's own language only if one compares it with other languages. The present study is conducive to a better understanding of English and Chinese. It contributes not only to the investigation of language universals, but also to the study of human cognition and other linguistic or applied linguistic issues.

Open Hearts Open Doors: Reflections on China's Past and Future (English/Simplified Chinese version) (Chinese and English Edition)

Open Hearts Open Doors: Reflections on China's Past and Future (English/Simplified Chinese version) (Chinese and English Edition)


"The Chinese are especially proud of their cultural heritage, and it will be on this foundation that their continually evolving cultural narrative will stand. Were the world to come respectfully to China with this understanding, the Chinese would be inspired to place even greater value on their rich legacy."--from the Epilogue by I. M. Pei "My hope is that this body of work may inspire compassionate understanding of Chinese culture and its lasting beauty, be it a tangible reality that survives or at the least a record of a past that led to a better future for a great people and a fascinating nation."--Elizabeth Gill Lui A movement for historical preservation is taking hold in China as more people realize the extent to which the country's historical character has already been sacrificed to economic development. For example, about 75 percent of the old city of Beijing has vanished-including hundreds of Ming-dynasty dwellings razed in favor of a new financial district. This spectacular book, both a collection of fine photography and a visual record of Chinese vernacular architecture, makes very clear that China's historic streetscapes, agricultural vistas, and villages are well worth saving. Open Hearts Open Doors provides a visual journey to traditional villages throughout rural areas of southeastern China. Photographed between 1995 and 2006 while Elizabeth Gill Lui was a visiting artist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the Department of Architecture, this collection of stunning images focuses on a cultural and architectural vernacular environment struggling to survive amid a dynamically transforming era in China's development. Complementing the pictures, in bilingual text, the prestigious contributors offer their thoughts on the question of how China can balance heritage preservation and economic growth. Participants include Lui's colleagues in academia, architecture, the arts, and public service, representing such institutions as the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Columbia University School of Journalism, the Getty Conservation Institute, and Shanghai's Tongji University. The views expressed are a valuable reflection on efforts that might help to preserve China's rich cultural legacy. How preservation contributes to cultural identity is central to this discussion. An epilogue by the architect I. M. Pei closes the book with words of hope for China's future.
