A Comparative Study of Artificial Intelligence and Translation Software in Chinese-English Translation:A Focus on Literary and Technical Texts

In recent years,the domain of machine translation has experienced remarkable growth,particularly with the emergence of neural machine translation,which has significantly enhanced both the accuracy and fluency of translation.At the same time,AI also showed its tremendous advancement,with its capabilities now extending to assisting users in a multitude of tasks,including translation,garnering attention across various sectors.In this paper,the author selects representative sentences from both literary and scientific texts,and translates them using two translation software and two AI tools for comparison.The results show that all four translation tools are very efficient and can help with simple translation tasks.However,the accuracy of terminology needs to be improved,and it is difficult to make adjustments based on the characteristics of the target language.It is worth mentioning that one of the advantages of AI is its interactivity,which allows it to modify the translation according to the translator’s needs.

Research on the Classification of Western Literary Criticism Under M. H. Abrams’Fourfold Model

This study explores the application of Abrams’Fourfold Model in the classification of Western literary criticism.Abrams’framework categorizes literary criticism into four fundamental elements:text,author,world,and audience.The text is viewed as an independent entity with intrinsic artistic value,necessitating a detailed analysis of its structure,style,themes,and symbols.Author study delves into the creator’s life and socio-cultural context,often to uncover the work’s deeper meanings.Contextual study situates the work within its historical and social milieu,examining its reflection of or response to societal norms and events.Audience response analysis considers the diverse interpretations shaped by readers’backgrounds,emphasizing the reader’s role in constructing the work’s meaning.The study concludes that Abrams’Fourfold Model offers a comprehensive and flexible analytical tool,enabling critics to engage with literary works from multiple perspectives,thereby enriching the understanding of literary complexity and diversity.

Felski’s Literary Sociological Thought From the Perspective of Actor-Network Theory

The relationship between literature and society has been a subject of continuous exploration since the inception of literature itself.On the one hand,from Plato’s theory of mimesis onward,literature has consistently been viewed as a representation of social reality,positioning literature as subordinate to society.On the other hand,with the rise of structuralism and the New Criticism,certain schools of thought have focused exclusively on literature itself,deliberately overlooking the complex connections between literature and society.The growing tension between these two perspectives has increasingly placed contemporary literary studies in a polarized state,leading to a crisis in the legitimacy of literary scholarship.In response to this,Rita Felski’s exploration of the uses of literature embodies a new literary sociology that offers a way out of the current impasse in literary studies.

文学研究的跨学科性:对知识与学科的再认识

近代以降,文学研究作为人文学术的分支领域进入学科化的发展模式中,其中涉及文学的知识性功能、学科发展以及跨学科方法论等相关议题。由于文学书写和文学研究均内涵复杂的文化与知识融合性特征,因此二者并非只是个体的意向性行为。前者与书写符号、文化传统、文化感知以及审美方式等阶段性特征有关;而后者除了对基于文本编码进行美学分析之外,还与文本环境、学科资源、传播方式以及跨文化体验等要素存在密切关联。文学书写和研究不仅可以提供对可能世界探寻的入口、呈现差异性的认知功能,而且得以弥补确定性知识的范围。对文学文本这一拥有多重线索的开放系统进行有效研究,客观上决定了跨学科考察的必然性。对文学研究所涉及的知识、学科以及跨学科问题进行再审视,不仅可以更好地把握文学研究的学理性,也可以在知识共享的基础上提供中国学人的洞察。

延伸·建构·承载:地理批评中的文学空间与现实空间

贝尔唐·韦斯特法尔(Bertrand Westphal)作为当代西方地理批评理论体系的创始者,他所提出的地理批评作为空间研究的一种新的动态批评理论,不仅使文学与地理学的联结成为事实,拓展了文学空间研究的新方式,为现实空间的重新建构提供了可能,而且在一定程度上缓减了后现代语境下空间的裂变与重组所造成的现代性危机,在以地方为研究对象的过程中产生出关于地方的新景观,完成了作为主体的“地方”在地理空间与意义空间方面的新建构。本文主要通过景观隐喻的视角,结合真实与虚构、去地域化与再地域化以及文学地图转向三个层面来重新阐释地方重构的内在逻辑,以此完成对地方身份的想象、建构与认同。

当我们谈论跨学科时,我们谈论什么?——基于对英文学科百年发展历程的反思

从19世纪末的语文研究到20世纪上半叶的新批评,再到理论兴起之后的跨学科热,英文学科的发展历程就是一个与非文学学科不断切割与交缠的过程。通过回顾英文学科的百年发展历程,有助于我们对当前文学跨学科研究热的应对策略和效果预期做出冷静判断。从方法论上来说,英文研究从来都是跨学科的,新批评所追求的那种学科纯粹性从未存在。从不同学科方法切入文学,恰恰可以让文学研究不断焕发活力、产生新的阐释意义。但从研究对象上来说,过分追求跨学科却会危及文学研究自身的合法性基础。跨学科研究可以丰富文学研究的工具箱,活跃和提升它的社会功能,为其提供暂时有效的合法性辩护,但它并非人文学科摆脱困境的灵丹妙药,其作用不宜被过分夸大。文学跨学科研究的目的不是为了产生“及物”的知识,而只是希望通过更丰富和有趣的思考来增加我们对历史、生活与世界的认识。

“重写文明史”视域下的中国文学史编纂

“重写文明史”的倡议已得到中外学术界的广泛关注与响应。将中国文学史的编纂工作置于“重写文明史”的视域下加以观照,可以引发一些新的思考:要在中国文学史编纂上取得根本性的突破,就必须在域内、域外两个空间内同时奋力拓展。域内,将各少数民族非汉语写作的古代文学作品列为研究与书写对象,以体现当代中国作为一个多民族国家所拥有的文学史的完整性与丰富性;域外,则将衍生与演进于东亚各国的汉文学作品列为研究与书写对象,以扩大中国文学史的延伸度与覆盖面,揭示以汉语写作为主要形式的中国文学的影响力与包容性,在一定程度上折射构建人类命运共同体的终极指向。

拓展·交融·打通——论宗教文学研究的目的、界域与方法

中国宗教文学史的研究,是对传统文学史研究的一个重要补充,同时也是对传统宗教史研究的一种重要拓展。中国历史上的儒道佛三教不是三种不同的宗教,而是华夏民族同一宗教的三个层面和三个组成部分;以三教为核心的宗教信仰,既与世界其他民族的宗教有相通之处,也形成了自己独特的宗教精神和宗教面貌,中国古代宗教与中国传统文学是水乳交融的关系,中国宗教文学史的研究应该充分尊重这一基本事实来确定研究内容和界限。在研究方法上,应借鉴钱锺书开创的具有真正现代科学价值的“打通”的学术思想,打通“思想”与“语言”之间的分界,打通“真”“幻”之间的分界,这应该成为我们今日研究“宗教文学”的一个重要出发点。

人工智能文学翻译的“主体性”与“创造性”

随着包括大语言模型在内的人工智能技术的飞速发展,其在文学翻译领域的应用引发了广泛讨论。基于深度学习的生成式模型在文学翻译中究竟有“创造性”吗?它是否具有“主体性”?人工智能在处理非信息文本,尤其是文学作品时所面临的挑战是什么?人工智能翻译的“硬伤”固然是目前人工智能还无法替代人类翻译主体的主要原因,但是最根本的原因还在于人工智能在文学翻译中难以复制人类译者的“文学性”和“主体性”。而“主体性”的缺失也使得人工智能在文学翻译实践中可能引发一系列伦理问题。因此,我们对人工智能在文学翻译中的应用持审慎态度,因为说到底,维护文学翻译的人文价值和伦理责任就是维护人类的尊严。

诗性·体性·兼性——“关键词研究与学术人生”一席谈

“诗性、体性、兼性”三个关键词是本文受访者对自己学术人生的概括,“博见馈贫、为文用心、余心有寄”则可视为其“人生关键词”。后三个关键词都出自《文心雕龙》,其《神思》篇有“博见为馈贫之粮”,博览群书可以充盈我们的内心、滋养我们的灵魂,使我们变成一个立体的人;其《序志》篇有“夫文心者,言为文之用心也”,它有两个方面:一是“用心之所在”,是说在从事学术研究的时候要专注,做到心无旁骛,二是“心之如何用”,是说要找到好的方法开展学术研究;《序志》篇的末句是“文果载心,余心有寄”,只有当学术成为人生的寄托,它才能伴随终生,在这个层面才能讲所谓的“学术人生”。

众音杂沓:金初文学生态的历史还原

金国初立,时局纷乱,为尽快实现少数女真人对绝大多数汉人、契丹人等的统治而“借才异代”,辽、宋文士一时间集聚金廷。其中,作为金初文学主力军的由宋入金文人群体不被女真统治者所信任,处境艰难。这一群体身份结构的多样性及当时社会政治的复杂性,造就了他们异常复杂的情感与心态,体现在文学上就是金初文学没有主旋律,没有同一性,众音杂沓,呈现出多元文学生态景观。同时,这在客观上也构建了其时文坛的丰富多元和规模宏大的创作队伍。基于这些“异代”文人较为深厚的艺术修为,金代文学获得了较高起点,这也成为其“一代制作能自树立唐、宋之间”的重要原因。

英美文学教材与课程思政融合提质研究

教材是学科建设与专业发展的重要平台。近年来,英美文学教材资源日益丰富。然而,在思想内容的深度与广度上仍有进一步完善的空间。为了培养更具思辨能力和人文素养的新时代合格人才,须将课程思政元素融入英美文学教材与教学中,以便在中外文学比较、文化交流与文明互鉴中形成文化自信,高效实现为党育人、为国育才的崇高目标。通过对英美文学教材进行评介,使教材发挥核心作用,形成“教师—教材—学习者”之间的良性互动,构建价值塑造、知识传授和能力培养三位一体的教育模式,培育兼具国际视野与家国情怀的中国式现代化亟需人才。

中国现代“作家论”的多维审视及其文学史意义

1930年代,茅盾引领的“作家论”写作热潮成为中国现代文学批评史上意蕴丰富的重要现象。“作家论”作为一种独特的批评文体,以总揽的视野和精切的分析聚焦于作家的创作道路与生命体验的错综关系,重在透过纷繁的作品感知作家的思想踪迹,于创作风格中把握创作主体的人格特质与精神肖像。中国现代“作家论”的发展历程呈现出复杂的历史曲线,它在“五四”时期“人的文学”的历史氛围中孕育而生,于新文学逐渐成熟的1930年代达到高峰,在战争语境下开始收缩,新时期呈现复苏态势,如今似乎又鲜见踪影,种种变动皆是文学生态的折射。“作家论”的数量虽然时增时减,但不断进入文学史的规模和方式,彰显着自身的文学史意义。“作家论”所提供的批评理念,即回到作家原初世界的探索路径,以及把“人”作为批评的起点、媒介与归宿,也为当下批评界提供了方法论的启示和反思。
