This paper is to describe Fang Zhong’s translation version of Tao Yuan-Ming’s poems, themasterpieces favored by the public, using supermemes as follows: Source-target, the equivalence, untranslatability,Free-vs-literal, all-writing-is-translating, which are the inheritance and deepening of memes of translation, whichnaturally promotes cultural communication and mutual understanding among countries.展开更多

The same is true in some of Carol Ann Duffy＇s poems, in which some mothers are described as institutionalized in the patriarchal society and considered as ＂the other＂, losing self-identity. Duffy also describes women fighting against the patriarchal control generation after generation until they are finally free. Some mothers exhibit their own potentials as mothers, either able to or unable to fulfill the duties of both material and spiritual caretakers of the family.展开更多

Her belief was that an unintentional authorial pattern of usage would be less subjective than other approaches to dating the sonnets. Yet, by use of dates from external allusions later applied by Prof. Leslie Hotson and other scholars, this author suggests that it may be possible to extend the total number of datable sonnets to over half of the cycle. However, Beckwith did not use dates for the plays which were later to become a standard dating scheme accepted by most scholars today, and so adjustments of her dates would change the dates she awarded to many of her selected sonnets. This author suggests that even the standard dating scheme is flawed, particularly if Shakespeare was dead when the Sonnets were published in 1609. He suggests another dating regime that meshes quite well with both Beckwith＇s 52 and an additional 27. Thus, the result for the 79 sonnets is to avoid certain problems in the distribution that Beckwith＇s method generated. The net result is what Beckwith termed ＂a skeleton around which the remaining sonnets can be safely built＂, but for over half rather than only a third of the cycle. This author suggests a half＂skeleton＂ is more indicative of the chronology for the whole sonnets cycle than only a third.展开更多
