从目的论视角管窥中国神秘文化的译介——以理雅各的《礼记》英译本为例

基于德国功能派的翻译目的论,以理雅各的《礼记》英译本为研究案例,分析了理雅各对中国神秘文化的译介。为了襄助其传教事业,理雅各采取了归化的译法来翻译某些蕴涵中国神秘文化的词,体现出了他的宗教融合倾向,同时,当某些中国神秘文化现象在西方文化中找不到类似的文化意象时,他又采取了异化的翻译方法,以便划清中国宗教和基督教之间的界限。

缘督以为经:对《贵妇人画像》的庄子式阐释

本文试图运用庄子"缘督以为经"的人生观分析《贵妇人画像》中伊莎贝尔·阿切尔的人生选择。庄子的"无情"观、"无用之用"观和寓言"庖丁解牛"具体体现了"缘督以为经"思想。本文首先用庄子的"无情"观分析了伊莎贝尔片面追求艺术的唯美主义思想对其人生的负面作用;然后用庄子"无用之用"观分析了财产和激情对伊莎贝尔的"无用"价值;最后用寓言"庖丁解牛"分析了她回归无爱婚姻的原因在于扭曲个性以回避现实的矛盾,以寄托母爱的方式实现其自然人生。

Stereotypes of the Japanese manager in Singapore

Semantic profiles of the Japanese manager were obtained from a questionnaire study of Japanese and Singaporean managers in the Singapore subsidiaries of Japanese companies, to establish an autostereotype and a high-contact heterostereotype. Questionnaires were also administered to Singaporean, British and American managers in the Singapore subsidiaries of British and American companies, to establish low-contact heterostereotypes of the Japanese manager. Discriminant analysis was used to map the stereotypes in perceptual space. No significant differences were found between the low-contact heterostereotypes of the Japanese manager held by the British, American and Singaporeans, but very significant (α < 0.1%) and interpretable differences were found between the low-contact and high-contact heterostereotypes, and between each of these and the autostereotype. The differences between the stereotypes are discussed, and the implications for multinational organizations are considered.     

“Is this Ella Fitzgerald?”: My Reflections of James C. McCroskey

Editor’s Note: This essay reflects the final in our five-part set of essays on the career of Communication Research Reports founding editor, James C. McCroskey. In these previous essays, Levine and Park (2017) offered the opening essay in our series, with a professional and personal rememberance of a scholar deeply impactful on both of their careers. Hickson (2018) commented on McCroskey’s formal and informal mentorship styles, and how others might understand the critical importance of offering oneself to one’s peers. Park, Oh, and Ryu (2018) explained the unique impact of McCroskey’s research on communication scholarship in South Korea, and Frymier (2018) reminded us of McCroskey’s impact as a core scholar for instructional communication research. In this final essay, we reached out to current West Virginia University Department of Communication chair Matthew M. Martin for his thoughts. As McCroskey spent most of his career at WVU (including a 25-year stretch as the department chair, from 1972 to 1997), inviting the current chair of that department for a closing commentary seemed most fitting. We hope that these five essays serve as a memorial to a scholar whose career and influence extends far beyond his publication record.
