In the conversion of English and Chinese, mastering and understanding some skills of translation can help us better grasp and understand how to transform English into Chinese. Based on the source text of Hillary Clinton's concession speech and the Chinese target text, the thesis studies the techniques of English translation and concludes the skills of translation. The purpose is to help students master a variety of English translation methods, to accumulate English communication skills and to improve the comprehensive level of English.展开更多

All these efforts are expected to contribute to making a balance between the development and construction of urban cities and the preservation of historical features, as well as provide lessons for inheriting urban history and culture in the future.展开更多

This paper proposes a stochastic concession period model for infrastructure projects under a BOT scheme, which takes into account the impact of risks and the risk attitudes of the private investor and the government. A hypothetical case is simulated by using the Monte Carlo simulation method to illustrate the proposed model. The results indicate that even for a project with the same estimations, the concession interval can be different and depends a lot on the risk attitudes of the private investor and the government. The proposed model provides a more reasonable concession interval based on which a specific concession period can be obtained through negotiation between the two parties.展开更多

Then, by using quantitative analysis and superposing related statistical data with historical maps, it analyzes the relationship between the density of the public transport network and the land price zoning. The paper concludes that public transport has great influences on the modernization of urban space and public life in modern Shanghai.展开更多
