《宋云行纪》的西传与英译研究

行记文学是古丝绸之路文化典籍的重要组成部分,对其译介的探讨和知识考古能够有效补充中西文化交流史与汉籍外译史的内容。本研究简要梳理了《宋云行纪》在西方,尤其是英语世界的流传与评述,勾画出行记英译的基本概貌,并在前人研究的基础上,考证了各个英译本所参照的源本,进而以丰厚翻译为叙述视角,着重分析英译本中副文本的话语指向与呈现特征、原文与译文的不完全对应等。研究认为,尽管英译本的丰厚翻译表现形式不尽相同,但皆映射出学术型译者的文化身份、研究焦点与翻译意图,使译文的知识生产呈现出多样性与跨界性的特征。

Estonia： The Prospects of Nuclear Energy

This paper details the prospects for a civil nuclear power station in Estonia. Due to its climate change commitments, Estonia needs a new source of electricity provision. There is little academic literature on Estonia, and this research builds upon previous work but is more detailed in its analysis with primary data included in the form of interviews with Estonian energy industry experts. All the conditions that have led to nuclear energy being considered as an option are assessed, along with why it represents the most strategic path for Estonia in terms of electricity provision. Through the interview analysis a framework is established and advanced for the successful initiation of a national nuclear power plant project. This research is therefore of high value for small EU countries who intend to consider nuclear energy as an option in their energy mix or have more advanced plans to develop a nuclear program.
