The trip of my life

Someone once said that to open our minds,we must expose ourselves to many cultures,but this is not as easy as it sounds.I was born in Chile,a long, narrow country squeezed between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains.It is a place where the boiling weather welcomes the celebration of the nativity of     

The Interpretation of Motifs in The Color Purple——Based on Their Eyes were Watching God

美国作家佐拉.尼尔.赫斯顿的《他们仰望上苍》与黑人作家爱丽丝.沃克的《紫色》关注的都是黑人女性的觉醒以及她们与父权社会的抗争。因此,爱丽丝.沃克在佐拉.尼尔.赫斯顿的主题思想的基础上,在其作品《紫色》中阐述了三方面的主题,即:女性的经济独立、女性自我意识的觉醒和两性关系的发展。     

The life and work of Niels Bohr — A brief sketch

The life and work of Niels Bohr are briefly reviewed covering: his family life, background, and education; the importance of his stay in England after PhD, and the crucial contact with Rutherford; the period of the Old Quantum Theory initiated by his work on atomic structure; and his role as mentor to the next generation of physicists through his Institute in Copenhagen. The contacts with Einstein, their debates on quantum mechanics, their deep mutual respect, and their personalities, are described.

God bless—上帝保佑

英美等国家的人深受基督教的影响,上帝(G od)是他们心中至高无上的神,人们常挂在嘴边的是“上帝保佑(G od bless m e!)”、“上帝保佑你(G od bless you!)”,甚至连打哈欠后也说G od bless you!英美人在祈求成功时,常把一只手的食指与另一只手的中指交叉(Cross one s fingers或keep one s fingerscrossed)。例如:She crossed her fingers duringthe race so that Jack would win.(杰克赛跑时,她交叉中指与食指,祈求杰克获胜。)如果某人说了谎,为了减轻说谎的罪过,也要“cross one s fingers”。例如:Jack crossed hisfingers when he to…     

The Dilemma of Newland Archer——The Theme of Freedom in The Age of Innocence

The Translation of Proverbs——The management of Cultural Elements

由于不同的自然地理环境、宗教信仰、风俗习惯、寓言神话以及文学艺术诸多方面的差异，英、汉谚语承载着不同的民族文化特色和不同的文化信息。他们与文化传统紧密相连，不可分割。谚语中的文化因素构成了翻译中的困难。直译、意译，或者直译与意译相结合，则要根据具体的语言环境来定。本文试图借助语用学的观点．对英汉谚语的翻译做一些探索。

The correspondence of public perceptions of graduates’ life chances and university departmental funding

Very little prior research has examined public perceptions of research funding and the life chances associated with various fields of study. In the present task, 315 members of the Austrian general public rated 34 higher-education courses in terms of funding cuts or increases, and the perceived life chances of graduates, respectively. The results showed a high degree of correspondence in the ratings of both questionnaires. Overall, professional and biological stream courses were rated the most favourably, whereas arts and humanities courses were rated the least favourably. Participants’ demographic variables had little influence on their decisions. The implications of these findings for the way higher education is managed and organised are discussed.

简析电影《The life of Pi》中的隐喻与转喻

电影《The life of Pi》讲述了少年派和一只名叫理查德.帕克的孟加拉虎在海上漂泊227天的历程。有人认为影片因其想象大胆、场景逼真、画面精致而获得奥斯卡奖项。笔者认为本片的成功,更多得益于导演李安隐喻与转喻的对立转换的灵活运用,并据此对片中转喻和隐喻的使用做一简要分析。     

The prevalence of ‘life planning’: evidence from UK graduates

At a time when ‘personal development planning’ is being rolled out across the UK higher education sector, this paper explores young adults’ inclinations to plan for the future in relation to work, relationships and other aspects of life. Although Giddens has emphasised the prevalence of strategic life planning (or the ‘colonisation of the future’) in all strata of contemporary society, du Bois Reymond has argued that there are important differences by social class, with young people from more privileged backgrounds more likely than their peers to engage in such life‐planning activities. This paper draws on interviews with 90 young adults (in their mid‐20s) to question some of these assumptions about relationships between social location and propensity to plan for the future. It shows how, within this sample at least, there was a strong association between having had a privileged ‘learning career’ (such as attending a high‐status university and identifying as an ‘academic high flier’) and a disinclination to form detailed plans for the future. In part, this appeared to be related to a strong sense of ontological security and the confidence to resist what Giddens terms ‘an increasingly dominant temporal outlook’.     

The gains and the pitfalls of reification — The case of algebra

Algebraic symbols do not speak for themselves. What one actually sees in them depends on the requirements of the problem to which they are applied. Not less important, it depends on what one is able to perceive and prepared to notice. It is this last statement which becomes the leading theme of this article. The main focus is on the versatility and adaptability of student's algebraic knowledge.The analysis is carried out within the framework of the theory of reification according to which there is an inherent process-object duality in the majority of mathematical concepts. It is the basic tenet of our theory that the operational (process-oriented) conception emerges first and that the mathematical objects (structural conceptions) develop afterward through reification of the processes. There is much evidence showing that reification is difficult to achieve.The nature and the growth of algebraic thinking is first analyzed from an epistemological perspective supported by historical observations. Eventually, its development is presented as a sequence of ever more advanced transitions from operational to structural outlook. This model is subsequently applied to the individual learning. The focus is on two crucial transitions: from the purely operational algebra to the structural algebra of a fixed value (of an unknown) and then from here to the functional algebra (of a variable). The special difficulties experienced by the learner at both these junctions are illustrated with much empirical data coming from a broad range of sources.
