The language of technical articles should be concise and accurate. High-quality technical translation should also have aesthetic value, literary grace and elegant style. Many technical translators think that faithfulness and smoothness are the primary principles in technical translation, while elegance is just an ornamental standard which values little. The author considers elegance in EST translation should be the perfect unity of faithfulness and elegance. This paper analyses the criteria for technical translation, explores the representation of elegance in technical articles, and emphasizes that the literary value should be thoroughly appreciated.展开更多

It was produced in people's daily life and is widely used in the western world in the field of social life,politics, economy, military and education etc. Not only is it necessary in communication but it is also a very important means in maintaining people's social and interpersonal relationship.It can reflect the level of civilization in a society as well as people's values. This paper is intended to probe into the two most important characteristics and functions of euphemism: to avoid taboos and to make the speech more polite and elegant, thus helping us to have a better understanding of euphemism, facilitate our daily communication and promote intercultural communication.展开更多

These kinds of beams are the alternative form of standard Ince-Gaussian beams and they display better symmetry between the ]nce-polynomials and the Gaussian function in mathematics. The transverse intensity distribution and the phase of the elegant Ince Gaussian beams are discussed.展开更多

They are exact analytical solutions to Snyder and Mitchell＇s mode in an elliptic coordinate system, and their transverse structures are described by Ince-polynomials with complex arguments and a Gaussian function. We provide convincing evidence for the correctness of the solutions and the existence of the breathers via comparing the analytical solutions with numerical simulation of the nonlocal nonlinear SchrSdinger equation.展开更多
