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.

Spatial and temporal patterns of amphibian species richness on Tianping Mountain,Hunan Province,China

DEAR EDITOR,Exploring species richness patterns across space and time can help in understanding species distribution and in formulating conservation strategies.Among taxa,amphibians are of utmost importance as they are highly sensitive to environmental changes due to their unique life histories(Zhong et al.,2018).Here,we investigated the spatial and temporal patterns of amphibian species richness on Tianping Mountain in China.Specifically,we established 10 transects at low to high elevations,and sampled amphibians in April,June,August,and October 2017.Our results demonstrated that amphibian species composition and richness varied significantly at both spatial and temporal scales and were associated with gradients of environmental change in microhabitats on Tianping Mountain.

NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITION OF THE STRONG CONVERGENCE FOR TWO FINITE FAMILIES OF UNIFORMLY L-LIPSCHITZIAN MAPPINGS

The purpose of this paper is to study necessary and su？cient condition for the strong convergence of a new parallel iterative algorithm with errors for two finite families of uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings in Banach spaces. The results presented in this paper improve and extend the recent ones announced by [2–7].

Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous volcanism of Hong Kong: Insights from the Ping Chau Formation

The vast expanse of Mesozoic igneous rocks in Hong Kong contain important geological records of late Mesozoic magmatic events and tectonic processes from the coastal region of Southeast China. Of these,the Ping Chau Formation in the northwestern New Territories is the youngest known stratum. We perform a detailed study of the volcanic rocks of the Ping Chau Formation utilizing zircon U-Pb dating,with major and trace elements geochemistry. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb data reveal Early Cretaceous age from two volcanic rock samples, with zircon crystallization from magmas at 140.3 ± 0.8 Ma and 139.3 ± 0.9 Ma,respectively. These rocks have high contents of total alkalis(Na_2O + K_2O = 5.58-9.45 wt.%), high-field-strength elements and light rare earth elements, conspicuous negative Eu anomalies, and depletions in Nb, Ta, Ti, Sr, Ba and P. Using this data, in combination with previous studies on the late Mesozoic volcanic belt in Southeast China, we propose that the volcanic rocks of the Ping Chau Formation probably originated from deep melting of the crust in a back-arc extensional setting induced by the subduction of the paleo-Pacific Plate. This formation represents the final stages of Early Cretaceous volcanic activity in Hong Kong, as associated with large-scale lithospheric extension, thinning and magmatism. Our results provide new information that can be used in evaluating the significance of Early Cretaceous volcanism and tectonics in Southeast China.

On the Global Significance of XI Jinping＇s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era

XI Jinping＇s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era contains Chinesewisdom for the development of socialism in the world,Chinese experience of realizing modernization in adeveloping country,and Chinese solution to the global governing. It clarifies the theoretical puzzlement of ＂theend of history＂,＂the clash of civilizations＂and ＂Western centrism＂,so that it plays an important role inhuman intellectual history. Therefore,one should adopt an international vision and a global perspective tounderstand and evaluate the theoretical significance and practical value of XI Jinpings thought on socialismwith Chinese characteristics for a new era.

多波束测深Ping周期内姿态变化对水深的影响分析

多波束系统波束发射与接收为独立过程,同时受海洋环境的影响,波束发射接收期间(Ping周期)换能器姿态存在动态变化,特别是对于具有发射导向作用的设备,其综合作用对水深结果的影响更大。现有研究通常将发射与接收换能器作为一个整体,仅考虑部分瞬时时刻的姿态,忽略了Ping周期内姿态变化的影响,具有一定的局限性。本文结合多波束测量原理及两种波束归位模型,利用仿真实验与实测数据,研究多波束测深Ping周期内姿态变化及发射导向对水深结果的影响。实验结果表明:在浅水区(小于200 m)二者影响可近似忽略,但随水深增加其影响可造成近10%测深结果 (尤其是边缘波束)超出规范要求。本文研究内容为后续多波束数据精细化处理提供一定的参考。
