Although the two great works were released in different periods of history and from different authors, there was still somehow resemblance and relevance between them. The motif of the thesis is to compare the two works, and try to discover the influence of the Bible on The Pilgrim＇s Progress f^om two dimensions, plot designs and features of women image---so that we can get a better understanding of The Pilgrim＇s Progress as an excellent representative and be aware of profoundly clout of the Bible. Through comparison and contrast, the imitation and creativity of The Pilgrim＇s Progress compared to the Bible on some issues can be clearly unfolded. By criticizing the female images in the Bible and complimenting them in The Pilgrim＇s Progress, the paper hopes to raise the public awareness to women＇s equal rights and social status.展开更多

Translating a text from the source language into the target language is always characterized by translational problems. The first version of the Tshivenda translated Bible was produced in 1936, whereas the new version was published in 1998. The translation of the new version of the Tshivenda Bible is based upon the new English version. However, some of the Tshivenda translation equivalents do not reflect the same meaning as those of the source language. There are many factors behind the non-equivalence of the English and Tshivencla lexical items, for example, culture and linguistic systems. The Bible contains ＂culture-bound＂ items, which present specific challenges to translation. Therefore, context becomes important in determining the meaning of the words. The aim of this paper is to highlight translation strategies used in the translation of The Lord＇s Prayer from the new English version of the Bible titled GoodNews Bible： Today＇s English Version With Deutorocanonicals/Apocrypha （1996） into Tshivenda, and the effects they have in transferring the meaning of aspects of the prayer.展开更多

In this work, the British author presents the human body as literally a book which has to be opened, rediscovered; it is a terra incognita marked by the resurgence of repressed elements or by the sense of urgency of applying a new significance to this locus. The notion of rewriting is a leitmotiv in ＂The Body Politic＂ as Barker seems to redefine not merely the organic political metaphor but drapes this imagery with Gothic, biblical or psychoanalytic veils. Julia Kristeva＇s Powers of Horror （1982） is a cornerstone to apprehend the depiction of the body as the ultimate unknown. The narrative traps the reader into the paradoxical hypnotic delights of the Otherized, abjectified body.展开更多
