This research led to very interesting results concerning the development of technology applied in making those clamps and what is more its rapid evolution in a very short period. For instance, the technology in making the clamps of Parthenon and those of the Epikourios Apollo differs completely, although the latter was erected by the same engineer, Iktinos. Actually, it is a revolutionary one as compared with that applied in the erection of Parthenon. The paper starts by examining the making of the archaic Trapeza iron clamps and continue with those of the Parthenon and the Epikourios Apollo.展开更多

It focuses on three main subjects of mourning before burial--lamentation, mourners＇ gestures and behaviors, and mourning apparel--to demonstrate the cultural function and social influence of the mourning rituals through the analysis of the function and purpose of the mourning of two ancient peoples. We find that there are some differences in these two ancient societies, although the rites of mourning share some basic and similar procedures and functions.展开更多

文摘The archaic functional vocabulary is highly with the legal features of formality and conservativeness and still holding a place in legal English.The Berne Convention is a good example to study the use and translation of the archaic functional vocabulary.By studying what archaic functional words or phrases are used in the Berne Convention,their meanings and the different use frequencies of them between the Berne Convention and the Copy Right Law of PRC,it has been found that arhcaic adverbs are used of low frequency,while some adjectives or adjectival groups as well as some prepositions or prepositional phrases are used of high frequencies.The use frequencies of the archaic functional vocabulary is higher in the Berne Convention than those in the Copy Right law of PRC.Some suggestions can be put forward to help improve translating Chinese legal documents into English or writing English legal documents.
