The Translation of Slangs in Two English Versions of Jin Ping Mei

The Chinese classical novel Jin Ping Mei abounds with a large number of slangs,which correspondingly leads to the difficulty of the novel’s English translation and also gives rise to the emergence of diversified English versions.The two English translators,Clement Egerton and David Roy,adopted completely different translation strategies when dealing with Chinese slangs in the novel.Their different translation purposes account for the significant disparity concerning the slang translation.Clement Egerton pays more attention to the novel’s plot in his English version The Golden Lotus,rather than the unique expressions of the original language,so that in the concrete translation process,a domestication strategy is adopted for the sake of the target language readers’understanding,resulting in distortion and omission of the slang expressions in the translated text.By contrast,the translation purpose which guides David Roy’translation The Plum in the Golden Vase is to convey the complexity and literariness of the original Chinese text,and hence the foreignization strategy is employed concerning slang translation,which aims to accurately reproduce the unique expressions of slangs in the original text.Comparatively speaking,David Roy’s translation succeeds in preserving the Chinese slangs to the greatest extent both in form and meaning,and can shed light for the slang translation in other Chinese literary works.

Protective Effects of Jin Bai Mei Yan Prescription on Oxidative Damage and Photoaging Induced by Ultraviolet B in HaCaT Cells

Objective Ultraviolet B(UVB)mainly acts on the skin epidermis,causing oxidative damage and apoptosis of keratinocytes.Jin Bai Mei Yan Prescription(JBMYP)comprises a variety of antioxidant traditional Chinese medicines(TCM).In this study,we aimed to evaluate the effects of JBMYP on the oxidative damage induced by UVB in human immortalized epidermal keratinocytes(HaCaT)cells.Methods HaCaT cells were divided into six groups:control group,model(UVB)group,positive(UVB+vitamin E)group,UVB+JBMYP low dose group(160μg/mL),UVB+JBMYP moderate dose group(800μg/mL),and UVB+JBMYP high dose group(1600μg/mL).HaCaT cells were irradiated with UVB and treated with JBMYP for 24 h.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay and real-time unlabeled cell function analyzer were used to assess the cell survival and proliferation rates,respectively.At the same time,the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS),lipid peroxide malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH),and hydroxyproline(HYP),as well as the activities of antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT)were evaluated using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results Compared with the model group,the survival rate of HaCaT cells in each dosage group of JBMYP was significantly improved(P<0.05).Further,JBMYP could promote the proliferation of HaCaT cells,leading to a reduction in the contents of MDA and ROS,and increase in the contents of SOD,CAT,GSH and HYP in HaCaT cells.Conclusions JBMYP has enhanced protective effect on oxidative damage induced by UVB in HaCaT cells.
