Differences between Chinese and English Cultures Reflected in the Ex pressions Related to Animals

Cultural differences are permeating in any form of language,including some idioms related with animals.Cross-cultur al communication,which is the ultimate goal of the foreign language studying,has been more and more popular in the life of the people from different countries,yet people do so with a little or no awareness of cultural differences.Though people may feel comfortable with standard literary speech,they will probably find themselves in hot water when confronted with idiomatic ex pressions.Idiomatic expressions are a mirror of a distinct cultural connotation is of vital importance.The thesis confines the idiomatic expression only to the animals,for most of the animals are relatively familiar to human be ings and the idiomatic expressions are rich in both Chinese and English.These idiomatic expressions reflect cultural differences more than cultural similarities for each of them has its own origins and shows its own national coloring.The cultural differences can be mainly divided into three categories:cultural conflict,cultural adaptation,and cultural vacancy.Only by acquainting with and awareness of these cultural differences,can people use such idiomatic expressions appropriately and understand them correctly.As a matter of fact,culture and language are interdependent.The awareness of cultural backgrounds is essential for cross-cul tural communication.I hope that every learner will realize the great importance of cultural awareness,and every learner's good intention will receive pleasing responses.

A Brief Analysis of Lexical Features of English Virology Texts

COVID has already been taken as a global pandemic,the culprit of which is the virus called SARS-CoV-2.Virologists around the world have been working hard at trying to find remedies and protection methods for the world.This paper is a brief analysis of lexical features of English virology texts,which will show that technical words,semi-technical words,and acronyms are the three prominent lexical features of English virology tests.It may be helpful in guiding cross-language communication in the virologists’community,which the authors hope would facilitate global research on COVID.

A Brief Analysis of Syntactical Features of English Virology Texts

Ever since late 2019,the COVID pandemic has given the world a great deal of pain and financial loss.Virologists around the world are working hard to eradicate it.Vaccines and treatment methods have been found,which cannot be accomplished without the joint efforts of the world virologist community.Naturally,facilitating global communication would help advance the research.This paper analyzes syntactical features of English virology texts and finds that:In these texts,verbs and postpositive attributes are used frequently,complicated logic needs careful analysis,and personification is often used.Having some knowledge of these sentence features may contribute to better communication in the virology community.

Feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions against infectious diseases among crisis-affected populations: a scoping review

Background:Non-pharmaceutical interventions(NPIs)are a crucial suite of measures to prevent and control infectious disease outbreaks.Despite being particularly important for crisis-affected populations and those living in informal settlements,who typically reside in overcrowded and resource limited settings with inadequate access to healthcare,guidance on NPI implementation rarely takes the specific needs of such populations into account.We therefore conducted a systematic scoping review of the published evidence to describe the landscape of research and identify evidence gaps concerning the acceptability,feasibility,and effectiveness of NPIs among crisis-affected populations and informal settlements.Methods:We systematically reviewed peer-reviewed articles published between 1970 and 2020 to collate available evidence on the feasibility,acceptability,and effectiveness of NPIs in crisis-affected populations and informal settlements.We performed quality assessments of each study using a standardised questionnaire.We analysed the data to produce descriptive summaries according to a number of categories:date of publication;geographical region of intervention;typology of crisis,shelter,modes of transmission,NPI,research design;study design;and study quality.Results:Our review included 158 studies published in 85 peer-reviewed articles.Most research used low quality study designs.The acceptability,feasibility,and effectiveness of NPIs was highly context dependent.In general,simple and cost-effective interventions such as community-level environmental cleaning and provision of water,sanitation and hygiene services,and distribution of items for personal protection such as insecticide-treated nets,were both highly feasible and acceptable.Logistical,financial,and human resource constraints affected both the implementation and sustainability of measures.Community engagement emerged as a strong factor contributing to the effectiveness of NPIs.Conversely,measures that involve potential restriction on personal liberty such as case isolation and patient care and burial restrictions were found to be less acceptable,despite apparent effectiveness.Conclusions:Overall,the evidence base was variable,with substantial knowledge gaps which varied between settings and pathogens.Based on the current landscape,robust evidence-based guidance is not possible,and a research agenda is urgently required that focusses on these specific vulnerable populations.Although implementation of NPIs presents unique practical challenges in these settings,it is critical that such an agenda is put in place,and that the lessons learned from historical and present experiences are documented to build a firm evidence base.
