“社会”与Society的中英语义差别对比分析

翻译过程中,中英文同一组词的语义不对等问题引起语义学者兴趣,而高频互译的“社会”与society这组词在译者与读者视角下语义对等性极强,由此语义差别研究较少且研究空间较大。该文研究该组词的字典释义,对比探究两者的语义不对等性,归纳语义差别背后原因。研究发现,“社会”和society存在语义不对等;“社会”一词包含“社交”和“公共”两大含义,而society一词对应其中“社交”之意,表现出一定的不对等性。

Hungry and Angry Society: Implications for Sustainable Development in Nigeria

Hunger is a physiological need,but the production and consumption of adequate and balanced food is a function of social forces.At every point,social,political,and economic processes intervene,for better or(more common)for worse.Food is one fundamental need of human beings for survival.But in Nigeria there is widespread food shortage and hunger.Development scholars have put forward reasons why poverty,hunger persists in the country,from the platitudes about population growth,inadequate implementation of agricultural policies,and neglect of agriculture,bad leadership,corruption,and the issue of distribution.Nigeria is richly blessed with arable land and citizens eager to unlock its food potentials.Unfortunately,this is far from being realized as the country depends on foreign countries for food,a situation that is tragic and sad.She spends about$10 billion a year importing food and agricultural products,the majority of which are wheat,rice,poultry,fish,and consumer-oriented foods.The pressure on the exchange rate results in devaluation-triggered inflation and food costs that fly up beyond the grasp of people at the bottom of the ladder as it is now is one of the negative repercussions of high food importation bills.Examining the effects of hunger is one of this paper’s key concerns and goals,and anger crisis for achieving sustainable development in the country using the Frustration-Aggression Theory,The Relative Deprivation and Political Economy Approach as guide.

Combinations of Transportation Policies to Promote BRT Usage Using Artificial Society Model

Various transportation systems have been developed in recent years.In this study,an artificial society model is developed to examine the combination of transportation policies in urban areas.In this model,each trip maker selects the primary and terminal transportation modes.An artificial society model is applied to the southeastern region of Osaka City,Japan.The effects of introducing BRT(bus rapid transit,primary transportation)and on-demand buses(terminal transportation)are investigated.The results confirm that BRT is used by a certain number of users.An increase in the use of BRT will increase the amount of walking,thus resulting in a healthy city.However,on-demand buses are rarely used as terminal transportation.Additionally,the development of bicycle parking stations near BRT stops is shown to be effective in the northern section of the BRT route.

Discussion on“School is Society”and Its Enlightenment to the Construction of University Environment

The principle of“school is society”indicates that controlling the environment is the only educational method.By transforming the school into a microcosm of society,we can cultivate individuals who possess a social spirit and adaptability,preparing them to thrive in real-world social situations.By analyzing the social performance of colleges and universities in terms of their training objectives for society,research concepts for the development of society,and service consciousness for the improvement of society,as well as the current demand for a proper connection with society,it can be found that taking“school is society”as the guiding ideology for the construction of the university environment tends to be simplified,purified,balanced,broadened,and provided with practical space.This will be beneficial to the development of higher education.

An Analysis of the Current State of Civil Society Participation in Ensuring the National Security of Mongolia

In this article, the researchers tried to evaluate the contribution of civil society to Mongolian democracy and the problems faced by civil society. In addition, the article aimed to determine the unique national criteria of Mongolian democracy and the need to create an organization to monitor the process of democracy. The process of identifying important documents and ideals for the development of Mongolian civil society today is still in its early stages. It can be said that the approval of the democratic constitution and the first free and fair parliamentary elections as a country that has newly and restored democracy became another impetus for the creation of a new type of citizen organization. It is characterized by trying to study the changes that have occurred since this historical period at the intersection of political science and security studies. One of the most important issues today is to find out how many non-governmental and civil society organizations exist in Mongolia today, which are Western-oriented, focused on specific issues, have their own position and opinion, are specialized, and are capable of influencing government policy. On the other hand, in this article, we emphasize whether non-governmental and civil society organizations, which aim to hold the government accountable, and carry out influence and control activities, are fully developed.

How Does the Film Raise the Red Lantern Explore the Oppression of Women by the Patriarchal Society in China

With the gradual improvement of Chinese women’s status in the 21st-century,gender studies and gender relations had become one of the hottest topics in Chinese society,which consequently prompted Chinese Women’s Cinema to attract the attention of larger audiences.Therefore,many researchers have focused their research on Chinese Women’s Cinema,but at present,it seems that there is still a research gap to discuss and analyze the changes in women’s status and identity in China in recent years.This paper will take the famous early Chinese Women’s Cinema Raise the Red Lantern as an example for discussion and analysis.The purpose of this paper is to discuss the oppression of women in Chinese feudal patriarchal society through the details in the film Raise the Red Lantern.The significance of this paper is to appeal for gender equality in China by analyzing the oppression of women by the feudal patriarchal society in the film Raise the Red Lantern.Through careful analysis and research,it is concluded that the film Raise the Red Lantern profoundly criticizes the oppression and exploitation of women and vulnerable groups by the Republic of China through shooting details.At the same time,it is in sharp contrast with the independent thought and social status of Chinese women in the 21st-century.

The Protection of the Right to Equality of the Elderly in the Digital Society

The inequality faced by the elderly in a digital society is the digital inequality caused by both public and private actions,as well as the societal inequality exacerbated by the digital inequality.The essence of this issue lies in the unequal social participation due to the expansion of digital space under digital inequality.The characteristics of the elderly,combined with their inherent human dignity,determine that the ultimate goal of protecting their right to equality in a digital society is not limited to equal digital rights alone.Instead,it aims to ensure that the elderly have equal opportunities for social participation in both digital and non-digital spaces by eliminating digital inequality and curbing the expansion of digital space.This ensures the autonomy of the elderly in the digital society.Accordingly,the State should implement two policies based on both prohibitive obligations that prevent direct infringements and protective obligations that safeguard the equal rights of the elderly against encroachments from private entities.The first policy,“Digital Integration”,empowers the elderly with digital skills and helps them actively integrate into the digital society.The second policy,“Digital Coexistence,”ensures that the elderly can equally participate in society even when they choose to abstain from digital technology.

Procreation Anxiety in Climate Crisis:Comparative Analysis of The Smog Society and Diary of an Interesting Year

The deterioration of the environment caused by climate change has been entangled with other factors to wane people’s desire for having children.This paper takes two climate short stories,The Smog Society by the Chinese SF author Chen Qiufan and Diary of an Interesting Year by the British writer Helen Simpson as case studies,comparing the writing of the climate change induced fertility anxiety in the two stories from both the individual and community perspectives.By associating the textual analysis with the social reality about fertility rate in China and Britain,the paper explores performance and coping methods of fertility anxiety in the face of climate crisis,aimed at providing possible solutions for the sustainable development of population.

“民间”、“民间社会”和CIVIL SOCIETY———CIVIL SOCIETY概念再检讨

试图从一种解释的立场重新考虑中国的“civilsociety”问题 ,据此 ,中国“civilsociety”之出现或者重现将被置于一个有着悠久传统的本土背景之下 ,并被从社会行动者主观的方面来理解。然而 ,这种研究立场的转变并不意味着简单地拒绝考虑和使用“civilsociety”概念 ,毋宁说 ,它要求以更恰当更有效的方式来运用这一概念。学者们已经注意并且区分了“civilsociety”概念的不同用法 ,其中 ,“描述性的”和“规范性的”是两种最基本的区分。不过在本文中 ,“civilsociety”将首先被看成是一种“对照性的”的概念 ,而且除非这一概念的“对照性”用法已被充分地了解和运用 ,否则要在中国语境中恰当地展示其分析性和规范性意义几乎是不可能的。作者强调历史记忆以及在理解和建构社会现实过程中行动者认知和想象的重要性 ,同时也从社会变迁角度指出诸如“民间”这类本土概念的局限性 ,认为“民间”的传统终须被超越 。

近代西方“society”观念的生成

近代西方的"society"观念经历了三次变迁:19世纪以前,"society"是契约社会的代名词,其要义是保护个人权利和自由,要求国家成为专门的职能部门,权力受到制衡和监督,而不再是高高在上的统治者;19世纪上半叶,黑格尔的"civil society"确立了个人—社会—国家框架,指出了社会伦理存在的缺陷,认为社会只是家庭与国家的中介环节,不再是终极的伦理归宿;19世纪下半叶,系统整体的社会观由社会学者确立,"society"具有了跨时空含义。与此同时,社会进化学说确立了西方社会优越性的理论基础,"西方中心论"获得支持,影响深远。

太极图在顶级化学期刊Chemical Society Review中的应用

太极图是中国传统文化的瑰宝,也是中华民族审美文化的源头,受到国人的尊崇。有研究者发现,太极图与数学、物理学等自然科学有着密不可分的联系。从自然辩证法的角度看,太极图与化学也有相通之处。故太极图也出现在了某些化学类期刊论文中,用于更直观更艺术地表现化学类论文的主旨思想及化学类期刊的风采。虽然太极图起源于我国并成为我国最优秀传统文化的凝聚,但相对于国内化学期刊,国外化学类期刊似乎更加偏爱太极图,尤其在封面和图形摘要的设计方面,比如国外顶级化学类期刊Chemical Society Review,尤其钟爱太极图,仅2016年出版的24期期刊,在封面和图形摘要中就出现了11次太极图的相关模型。文章着重讨论一下该刊频繁采用太极图的原因及相关设计思路,以期为国内化学期刊的出版提供借鉴。

Smart Society and Artificial Intelligence:Big Data Scheduling and the Global Standard Method Applied to Smart Maintenance

The implementation of artificial intelligence(AI)in a smart society,in which the analysis of human habits is mandatory,requires automated data scheduling and analysis using smart applications,a smart infrastructure,smart systems,and a smart network.In this context,which is characterized by a large gap between training and operative processes,a dedicated method is required to manage and extract the massive amount of data and the related information mining.The method presented in this work aims to reduce this gap with near-zero-failure advanced diagnostics(AD)for smart management,which is exploitable in any context of Society 5.0,thus reducing the risk factors at all management levels and ensuring quality and sustainability.We have also developed innovative applications for a humancentered management system to support scheduling in the maintenance of operative processes,for reducing training costs,for improving production yield,and for creating a human–machine cyberspace for smart infrastructure design.The results obtained in 12 international companies demonstrate a possible global standardization of operative processes,leading to the design of a near-zero-failure intelligent system that is able to learn and upgrade itself.Our new method provides guidance for selecting the new generation of intelligent manufacturing and smart systems in order to optimize human–machine interactions,with the related smart maintenance and education.

“Original Affluent Society”翻译刍议——兼与丘延亮先生商榷

萨林斯提出的"Original Affluent Society"是一个非常重要的经济人类学概念。从人类学对狩猎采集社会认识与表述的演变过程来看,"original society"不应译为具有一定文化价值标准的"原初社会",而应译成较为中性的"初民社会"。就经济状况而言,狩猎采集社会在本质上不是"丰裕社会",而是物产相对丰富、目标和欲求非常有限的"富饶社会"。因此,"Original Affluent Society"译成"初民富饶社会"比译为"原初丰裕社会"妥当。

Construction of Public Security Risk Governance System under the View of Risk Society Theory

With the development of economy,China has to fight against the increasing public security risk. The theory of risk society points out that the traditional system of hierarchical management should be transformed into the governance system led by government and participated in by multiple parties to avoid and reduce risk in modern society. In order to achieve modernization of the national governance system and capacity,we have to deal with these two important subjects,that is,what can we learn from the Western risk society theory and how to establish a scientific and efficient public security risk management system based on the characteristics of modern public security risk.

From risk society to audit society

Contrary to what is sometimes claimed, the 2008 banking crisis occurred in an ultra-regulated environment. Legislative and regulatory financial-security regimes have in fact multiplied in recent years. The economic crisis is accelerating the transition of the risk society towards the audit society. But the G20 （Group of Twenty） declarations in Washington and London also reveal a managerial utopia： the march towards a society of confidence or harmony that would make controls superfluous. In this context, the article seeks to call upon philosophical, sociological and managerial references to risk, from Foucault to Power by way of Beck, Giddens ＆ Ewald, to shed light on the official declarations of the leaders of the world＇s main economies. The documentary corpus examined includes all the G20 works published between November 8, 2008 （preparation for the Washington Summit） and April 2, 2009 （conclusions of the London Summit）. The political philosophy underlying the G20＇s works remains fundamentally liberal, even though saving the worldwide market economy involves established security systems as well as self-control and control of others. In the end, the leaders do not decide between reinforcing the existing tools and inventing new systems. The updating of security technologies is meant to serve the preservation of the capitalist managerial utopia. This gives rise to a new variant of Beck＇s risk-society paradigm, too often confined to environmental threats alone, in three phases： （1） The crisis is a consequence of financial modernity and in particular of the inefficiency of regulation in the face of growing sophistication in techniques; （2） To restore confidence, the states and international institutions want, paradoxically, both to reinforce regulation and promote flexibility; （3） Thereupon, flexi-security controlled by worldwide economic governance characterizes the second financial modernity.

Female Struggle in Patriarchal Society-Comparative Interpretation of Gimmal and Crumbs of Agalloch Eaglewood-the First Incense Burner

Zhang Ailin created so many various kinds of female charaters in her novels;females who own distinct characters and identities just have similar fates and struggles.This paper tries to probe into the similar fates and struggles of two heroines with different identities in the same social background by analysing the novel Gimmal and Crumbs of Agalloch Eaglewood-the First Incense Burner from perspective of feminism.

Examining the Relations between Language and Society through a Small Window

Language and society are so closely intertwined.From the sociolinguistic perspective,language not only has denotation functions,but also has a function of signaling the speakers' social and personal backgrounds.Personal names,as a kind of language use,although vary from country to country and from times to times,they still signal something about people's social identities.Chinese names have very rich connotation.Chinese naming system is a mirror of Chinese society and culture,and personal names have revealed a lot of time features.This study is to examine the change in the choice of words for Chinese given names during the time period of 1940s to the current from the sociolinguistic perspective.It focuses to explore the relations between the change of language use in personal names and the change of society,as well as on the influence of social ideology on the choice of Chinese given names.
