The author takes a comparative reading of three English renderings of"Water Dragon Song"; both achievements and problems in each version are discussed regarding imagery, meaning, poet's sentiments and poetic atmosphere, for the purpose of working out a better rendering.展开更多

It is proposed that the capillary edge waves are generated by parametric resonance, which is shown to be a possible mechanism for both rectangular an circular vessels. For circular vessel, the normal geometric resonance is also operating, thus greatly. enhance the dramatic effect. The mechanism of nonlinear mode-mode interaction is proposed far the generation of axisymmetric low-frequency gravity waves by the high-frequency external excitation.
