From the perspec-tive of reception aesthetics, English version of Cao Wenxuan's work Bronze and Sunflower is studied from four aspects:horizon of expectation, indeterminacy, aesthetic distance and fusion of horizons. In reception aesthetics, target readers-children are the center of the reading. So translation methods are to satisfy children's demand. It has also been found out that there are some features for children's literature translation include using colloquial words, concise sentence structure and the combination of domestication and foreignization.展开更多

From this story, we can understand her writing standpoint and her determination of making contributions to her nation and people. This paper tries to review her speech given in the Nobel Prize in Literature from four aspects. They are the introduction and comprehension of the story, narrative point of view, discourse and power and feminist criticism.展开更多

And this paper is composed of four parts. Chapter Ⅰ will make a detailed analysis of Emerson's view of nature and make a further investigation of his view by analyzing his work Nature.Chapter Ⅱ is about Thoreau's view of nature and his attitude to nature through his work Walden. Chapter Ⅲ firstly makes a brief introduction of Melville's view of nature and then interprets it by explaining the symbolic meaning of main characters' names in his famous work Moby-Dick. And the last chapter makes a simple comparison among their views of nature to give a further understanding of the view of nature in American Literature.展开更多
