Nida' s dynamic equivalence theory thinks that translation is not Simple literal equivalence, but it is corresponding to two languages meanings and styles that are not rigidly adhered to forms. Therefore, we also need consider the cultural context in addition to understanding features of two languages in the process of translation, This paper makes a preliminary summary research on the parts of speech translation of English and Chinese translation to help translators better to deal with the parts of speech translation in the English and Chinese translation under the guidance of dynamic equivalence.展开更多

And the film title can catch people's eyes more quickly. Some scholars think that the translation of Chinese film titles should from the Functional Perspective. Some scholars think that it should do from the perspective of Skopos Theory. However, there are not enough scholars try to do it from the Perspective of the Contextual Adaption Theory. It is important to find an idea to translate the Chinese film titles to achieve that. So, this thesis try to find a effective way to translate the Chinese film titles.

The International Horticultural Exposition was held in Xi'an, China, from April to October in 2011. As guidance to the visitors, all the public signs were in both Chinese and English. The importance of the translation quality of public signs in the Expo cannot be over-exaggerated. By analyzing the data collected in the survey, the paper claims that the quality of the public signs in the Expo is not satisfying and Gutt's relevance-theoretical account of translation can well serve as the theoretical foundation of public sign translation.展开更多
