以意群为翻译单位的科技英语汉译策略研究

翻译单位的研究由来已久,其研究对翻译教学、翻译批评和翻译实践都有十分重要的影响。翻译单位究竟是什么,研究者们意见并不一致。而翻译单位是一个变化的动态的系统,其选择受如下因素的影响,如文本类型、文本体裁、文本目的,译者主体性,译者对语言及文本的掌握,目标读者,源语和译语间差异等等。只有在具体情况下对翻译单位进行研究,才有实践和理论上的指导意义。本研究旨在对科技英语句式进行意群分析,指出以意群为翻译单位来指导科技英语汉译的可行性和行之有效的汉译策略。     

从闽北民居砖雕图案看乡村百姓科举的梦想

两宋时期闽北成为福建文化区域的中心地带,其中以武夷山为代表的闽北地区文化的崛起,是整体勃兴中最为灿烂的一支。闽北作为闽学发源地,具有深厚的文化底蕴。从闽北民居的砖雕图案中可以窥视到乡村百姓科举入仕的梦想,即希望晚辈通过读书来改变命运,进入仕途,加官晋爵。反映出人们求进取的美好向往和读书起家的思想始终在激励着后人。

When Diversity Training Goes Wrong: A Case Study Analysis of the University of Delaware Residential Education Program

In an increasingly global and interconnected world, it is necessary for corporations and educational systems to develop mechanisms for community members to enhance multicultural competencies related to diversity including race, ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, and the like. Some people internalize anger, fear, contempt, and guilt about these issues. As a result, people express their feelings in unhealthy and unproductive ways in school and in the workplace. The solution often is to provide diversity training or sensitivity training. This case study analysis utilizes Kaufman's systemic thinking model to examine what went wrong when one university attempted to implement a yearlong intensive diversity training program that brought national media attention and a potential lawsuit against the university, ultimately resulting in a dramatic shift in the university's out‐of‐classroom experiential learning policies.     

Connecting Diversity Efforts in the Workplace with Business Mission,Goals, and Objectives

As more attention is given to managing and valuing diversity in the United States workforce, the linking of diversity issues and practices to organizational performance needs must be addressed. In addressing the performance question, this article investigates both the difference between a quick fix and systematic action, and the distinction between a program and a process. A systematic and comprehensive process linked to organizational goals and performance is recommended. Gaps in typical programs and responses are pointed out, and some possible areas for measuring results attributable to valuing and managing diversity are suggested.     

The Effect of Functional Flow Diagrams on Apprentice Aircraft Mechanics' Technical System Understanding

Cognitive theory suggests that a key to expert performance lies in the internal organization of the expert's knowledge. The authors contend that the type of technical illustration used during instruction influences knowledge organization and greatly impacts students' understanding of the content. This paper describes an experimental study that tested the impact of one type of conceptual illustration on students' understanding of the structure, function, and behavior of complex technical systems. The results show that supplementing traditional technical instruction with functional flow diagrams can improve overall system understanding. The functional flow diagrams were also found to be an effective instructional aid for enhancing students' conceptual understanding of the causal behavior of systems. In addition, the use of the functional flow diagram was found to significantly improve the subjects' ability to construct conceptual models that were similar to those of an expert. The implications of using conceptual diagrams for technical instruction are discussed and recommendations for future research in this area are provided.
