As you can see from the title,we try to provide a brief analysis of ambiguity of words' meaning in translation practice,namely,what is ambiguity of a meaning of a word and how it is caused,and how it affects translation.What effective methods are available to help us achieve a successful translation? Although a perfect solution for the problems presented by the ambiguity of words' meaning is difficult to find,we try to do what it can to contribute to the solution and draw people's attention to those problems.

A new polar motion prediction method combined with the difference between polar motion series

After the first Earth Orientation Parameters Prediction Comparison Campaign(1 st EOP PCC),the traditional method using least-squares extrapolation and autoregressive(LS+AR)models was considered as one of the polar motion prediction methods with higher accuracy.The traditional method predicts individual polar motion series separately,which has a single input data and limited improvement in prediction accuracy.To address this problem,this paper proposes a new method for predicting polar motion by combining the difference between polar motion series.The X,Y,and Y-X series were predicted separately using LS+AR models.Then,the new forecast value of X series is obtained by combining the forecast value of Y series with that of Y-X series;the new forecast value of Y series is obtained by combining the forecast value of X series with that of Y-X series.The hindcast experimental comparison results from January 1,2011 to April 4,2021 show that the new method achieves a maximum improvement of 12.95%and 14.96%over the traditional method in the X and Y directions,respectively.The new method has obvious advantages compared with the differential method.This study tests the stability and superiority of the new method and provides a new idea for the research of polar motion prediction.

Effect of unequal injection rates and different hopping rates on asymmetric exclusion processes with junction

In this paper, the effects of unequal injection rates and different hopping rates on the asymmetric simple exclusion process （ASEP） with a 2-input 1-output junction are studied by using a simple mean-field approach and extensive computer simulations. The steady-state particle currents, the density profiles, and the phase diagrams are obtained. It is shown that with unequal injection rates and different hopping rates, the phase diagram structure is qualitatively changed. The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations.

Study on new words and their evolutions

Language change is the manner in which the phonetic, morphological, semantic, syntactic, and other features of a language are modified over time. Vocabulary can change quickly as new words are borrowed from other languages, or as words get combined or shortened.

In particular, affixation, compounding, blending, and meaning shift are illustrated in detail.

These loan words are still widely used among speakers of the Malay language. The dominant borrowing method is transliteration. Hokkien or Amoy pronunciation was used as the basis for the formation of these loan words
