However, the research on this newly emerging subject in the field of translation studies has not been treated with equal attention. This thesis attempts to propose a possible strategy to translate Chinese American works, based on the theory of ＂functional equivalence＂, taking the comparison of the 2 Chinese versions of TAN＇s The Joy Luck Club as an example.展开更多

It not only attracts the western readers but also the Asian ones. Amy Tan wrote this novel partly according to her own living experience. Her mother is the first generation and she is totally growing up in America. She herself does not have a good relationship with her mother when she was young. What we can tell from the Joy Luck Club. This paper will reread the novel from the feminism aspect about the four pair's mothers and daughters, not only focusing on the daughters' rebirth from their marriage but also on their rediscovering of themselves.展开更多

Her first novel The Joy Luck Club has won her several prestigious literary awards. However, the limitation of Orientalism is also manifested in the novel, which leads to much criticism. It is believed that the novel is popular because the binary distinction between the East and the West satisfies the ideological needs of the white-dominated society. This thesis is trying to interpret The Joy Luck Club from the perspective of Orientalism.展开更多

The main code applied in ADS research is MCNPX, which was developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory. We studied the application of the open-source Monte Carlo codes FLUKA and OpenMC to a coupled ADS calculation. The FLUKA code was used to simulate the reaction of highenergy protons with the nucleus of the target material in the ADS, which produces spallation neutrons. Information on the spallation neutrons, such as their energy, position,direction, and weight, can be recorded by a user-defined routine called FLUSCW provided by FLUKA. Then, the information was stored in an external neutron source file in HDF5 format by using a conversion code, as required by the OpenMC calculation. Finally, the fixed-source calculation function of OpenMC was applied to simulate the transport of spallation neutrons and obtain the distribution of the neutron flux in the core region. In the coupled calculation, the high-energy cross-section library JENDL4.0/HE in ACE format produced by NJOY2016 was applied in the OpenMC transport simulation. The OECD–ADS benchmark problem was calculated, and the results were compared with those obtained using MCNPX. It was found that the flux calculations performed by FLUKA–OpenMC and MCNPX were in agreement, so the coupling calculation method for ADS is reasonable and feasible.展开更多
