From “Self” to “Individual”: Lu Xun's Traditional Model of Thinking in the Acceptance of German Individualism
WANG Wei-dong
2012, 28(3): 1-9.
Abstract(454) PDF(16)
Abstract:
The early thought of Lu Xun's “individual” was presented in the five theses created in 1907 and 1908 in classical Chinese, together with the concepts of the state of mind, spirit, willpower, aspiration, quiet mind, etc.His idea of individual mainly came from the western thinkers, such as Stirner, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Ibsen etc.on the one hand;the terms used in his expression mainly came from traditional Chinese semiotic resources, such as Book of Changes, Confucius and Mencius, Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, Buddhism, the Lu-Wang Xin Xue, etc.on the other hand.The study shows that Lu Xun's traditional model of thinking makes him to love and accept the German ultra-individualism in the end of 19th century, and the comparative study of the “cultural individual” in Chinese and German tradition of thinking shows that young Lu Xun accepted the German “individual” through the Chinese “self”.This also tells that his counter traditional “individual” is actually confined with his own tradition.

“Paraphrase” as a Strategy in Translating Lun Yu(The Analects) into English: A Functional Linguistics Perspective
HUANG Guo-wen
2012, 28(3): 16-21.
Abstract(371) PDF(10)
Abstract:
There are over 60 translated versions of Lun Yu (known as The Analects in the English world) and the method of translation is related to the interpretation of this ancient text.This paper attempts to analyze some translated texts (from Chinese into English) from a functional-syntactic perspective within the Systemic Functional Linguistics framework with the aim of identifying the relationship between form and meaning.One of the findings of the present study is that Chinese translators prefer “paraphrase” as a strategy or method of translating Lun Yu, which is one way of the free translation approach rather than the literal translation approach.
Theoretical Approaches in Contemporary Studies on the Translation of Lun Yu: With a Review of the First Forum on the Translation of Lun Yu
CENG Ji
2012, 28(3): 22-27.
Abstract(287) PDF(9)
Abstract:
As the representative of the studies on the translation of Chinese classics, studies on the Translation of Lun Yu (The Analects) possess rich academic values and cultural strategic significances.As a result of the revolutionary changes in social context and academic context, translation studies on Lun Yu has moved much beyond the naïve theme of “how to translate well” and developed into a problematique of cross-lingual interpretation of classics inviting and fusing multiple academic approaches.The continuous reconstruction of this “open text” in translation reveals its hermeneutic depth by nature.Paradigm shifts like the linguistic turn and the cultural turn in translation studies has generated many new approaches to the studies on Lun Yu translation:the linguistic approaches that are synchronic, descriptive and at discursive level;the cultural study approaches that are diachronic in nature, highlighting the culturally constructing force of translation and the problems of discourse, power and politics behind.Based on the fruitful speeches delivered by multiple scholars on The First Conference on the Translation of Lun Yu, this paper systematically reviews the roots, themes and methods in contemporary studies on Lun Yu translation.

CHEN Yang
2012, 28(3): 28-33,43.
Abstract(273) PDF(7)
Abstract:
In recent years, the functional discourse analysis with Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as its theoretical framework in the studies of the translated texts of Lún Yǔ (The Analects of Confucius) has been proposed and illustrated.Following this approach, the paper attempts to evaluate a number of Chinese and English translation versions of Zi Jian Nan Zi/Zi Lu Bu Yue (Confucius saw Nanzi/Zilu was not pleased), and the focus is on logical-semantic relations and Transitivity analysis.The paper argues that the functional discourse analysis approach can help evaluate the translation product in a systemic and systematic way.
Register Analysis and the Study on the Translation of The Analects
GAO Sheng-wen
2012, 28(3): 34-43.
Abstract(407) PDF(9)
Abstract:
Register is the functional variety of language.The register analysis is a significant part of SFL.The paper makes a detailed study of the Hallidayan approach to register, making clear the bi-directional relationships between the context of situation, register and text, distinguishing the main functions of register with a statement that register is both predictive and cohesive.Finally, from the aspects of register equivalence and cohesion, with two special chapters as analytical examples, a comparative analysis is carried out between five well-known English versions of The Analects of Confucius by five distinguished translators in different times and from different areas.The study clearly specifies the significance of the register analysis in both the study of translation of The Analects and the translating of The Analects itself, thereby uncovers a new idea and a new method for both the study of translation of The Analects and its translation.

HU Hong-hui, CENG Lei
2012, 28(3): 44-49.
Abstract(228) PDF(8)
Abstract:
The paper, based on the theory of interpersonal function in Systemic Functional Grammar, explores the projection clause nexus in Analects and its English versions.By applying the theory of interpersonal function in the analysis of projection clause nexus, we find that the different realization of Mood, mood elements and personal system in different English versions can present different interpersonal meaning.The research concludes that analyzing interpersonal meaning of the projection nexus plays important roles in the translation research of projection clause nexus.

SHI Li-rong, LIU Yu
2012, 28(3): 108-112.
Abstract(241) PDF(6)
Abstract:
TBounded rationality points that organizations are limited.So the organizational power is limited regardless of the top-down or bottom-up exercise.This kind of limitation is the boundary of power.Therefore, in order to produce extended effect, the power need to be delivered at all levels of government organizations.The characteristic of the limited authority of government determines the limit of the exercise of powers and the oversight of powers.The limit of the exercise of powers requires a reasonable separation of powers between the central and local government, and the limit of the oversight of powers requires the central government to increase the monitoring to the local.Under the “pressure-type system” of our government, if we can't straighten out the supervisory relationship, the “limited interventional obstacles” of supervisory authority will make the up and down channels of supervision clogged, information failure, distortion effect and the policy mistakes.As a result, this paper proposes that the supervisory authority of government can be reasonable extended through confirming the government organizational boundaries correctly, distributing the government organizations' attention, establishing the symbiotic relationship of cooperation and overcoming the barriers with co-determination.Thus, we can solve the inconsistent problem from the targets to the results of social benefiting policies, and maintain the stability of social basic-level.
