The unprecedented changes being seen now intensify the mismatch between security challenges and global security mechanisms that contributes to our uncertain times. The current US judgment over the international situation is hasty, one-sided and negative. By deliberately reducing the dependence between China and the US over shared interests, the US pushes Sino-US relations towards a new cold war. China, in analyzing causal relationships and developments at a macroscopic level, seeks convergence of its national interests and humanity’ s common interests. In pooling the wisdom to design an operable international strategy and in using international cooperation in this globalized era, China is committed to new approaches to international relations and great power relations.展开更多

This re-correspondence in semantic level has been well-shown not only in the translation of literature works, but in those of dictionary and glossary translations as well. Semantic clash, generally, is based on two main factors, one is the inherent difference between languages lying in typology features, the other is the social and culture diversity factors lying in the translator＇s personal background. According to actual translation works, social and culture factors of individual background take the dominant position unconsciously over other features in the process of code-switching. The present paper, branches the latter factor into certain categories, by analyzing bilingual dictionaries and glossaries cases in the 18th century, Qing Dynasty, and indicates that the conceptual lagging, religion beliefs, living environment and political stand embedded in individual background will somehow result in semantic clash, which will lead the relevant research to pay more attention on cross-cultural literature translation.展开更多

Over time, China and Africa have built friendships, but they have also discovered cultural discrepancies. One is the notion that the Chinese value hard work and efficiency, and that Africans, as some Chinese complain, can be reluctant to work and do not value time.
