Study on the Strategy of Context Reconstruction in the Translation of Chinese Classics into English
ZHU Fang
2020, 36(2): 11-18.
Abstract(295) PDF(3)
Abstract:
Context plays an important role in speech delivery and comprehension.Due to the contextual factors that exist between different cultures in terms of history, culture, social customs and communicative situations, translators always need to seek a balance between context deficiency and context reconstruction in the process of translating Chinese classics into English.By taking Ku Hong-ming's Translation of The Discourses and Sayings of Confucius as an example,the study elaborates on the strategy of context reconstruction from the aspects of culture,situation and co-text.It serves as reference for the efficient dissemination of traditional Chinese culture to the rest of the world.

ZHANG Xian, WANG Yong
2020, 36(2): 19-28.
Abstract(362) PDF(5)
Abstract:
Based on Genre Theory and Appraisal Theory within the framework of systemic functional linguistics, this article aims to investigate the generic structure in company public apology letters written in Chinese as well as their semantic features,especially in terms of evaluative meaning.This study shows that the generic structure of this type of letters determined by its contextual configuration presents a certain degree of regularity.Besides,evaluative meaning of different types is unevenly distributed throughout the letter and different structural element manifest different type of evaluative meaning.These language features fully reflect the companies' communicative purpose,which is to obtain forgiveness from consumers and persuade consumers to continue using their products and services.As for the hot phenomenon that many companies issue public apology letters on Weibo,the reason lies in the improvement of consumption environment in China.
The Marxist Philosophical Foundation of Ecolinguistics: Anti-logocentrism
ZHANG Lan
2020, 36(2): 29-37.
Abstract(417) PDF(8)
Abstract:
In recent years, ecolinguistics has shown a vigorous development trend:it has systematic teaching materials, specialized academic journals, professional scientific research teams, and international academic conferences, and has basically had core research content and universal research models.However,the diversity of research paradigm makes the integrity of the subject challenged.How to construct a theoretical framework that integrates multiple research paradigms is one of the difficult problems to be solved in the academic community.Based on the theory and method of Marx's "anti-logocentrism",this paper explores the correlation between Marxist philosophy and ecolinguistics to establish the integration point among the various research paradigms of ecolinguistics from the philosophical dimension,and to promote the extension of Marxist ecological thoughts to the field of ecolinguistics.In a word,"anti-logocentrism" is the convergence of multiple paradigms and the key for ecolinguistics to break through the lack of a systematic framework among paradigms.
An Analysis and Discussion on Retranslation of Classics from the Perspective of Functional Linguistics
ZHANG Jian-xiu, LI Guo-qing
2020, 36(2): 38-46.
Abstract(349) PDF(3)
Abstract:
Taking Churchill's Memoirs of the Second World War and the translation version published by Yilin Publishing House as the data, this paper makes a detailed discussion and analysis of the phenomena on translation omission and mistranslation,improper choice of words and discourse incoherence in Yilin's translation.The analysis is carried out within the theoretical framework of situational context and three metafunctions put forward by Halliday.The conclusion of this paper is that a correct understanding of the semantic connotation of the situational context of the original text makes the greatest contribution to a highquality translation version,since it not only paves the way for a correct understanding of the deep semantic ideational connotation of the original text,but also provides an objective and powerful guidance both for transferring the equivalent interpersonal evaluative meaning of the words in the source text and for breaking up long sentence into short clauses and adjusting them in a logical manner,all of which are considered to be the most important issues for translators to pay attention to in the process of translation.
Ambiguous Governance in Outbreak Management: A Governance Logic for Coping with Uncertain Risk
ZHANG Li-wei
2020, 36(2): 47-50.
Abstract(332) PDF(6)
Abstract:
The risk of public health is still a challenge for governance in modern society.In an interconnected society, the risk of public health caused by infectious-disease solidifies the complexity of adequate risk governance.In the perspective of public administration,ambiguous governance targeting the risk of public health should be developed by multidisciplinary knowledge.Firstly, ambiguous governance aims to cope with ambiguous issues, which includes systematic risk assessment in uncertainty and estimates all possibilities of adverse effects and potential threats.Secondly,ambiguous governance is a cross-organizational strategy for integrating organizational capacity and for information flowing by breaking the hierarchical boundary and process.Lastly, ambiguous governance is cross-regional governance, which enhances the collaborative capacity amongst regions combining macro-control and micro-flexibility,for eliminating amplification of the risk by flowed society and improving institutional trust.The concept of ambiguous governance has its advantage in innovating the mechanism of risk governance.
Why Does the “Information Paradox” Occur in Emergency Management?——A Study from the Perspective of Chinese State Governance
CHEN Ke-lin
2020, 36(2): 51-54.
Abstract(257) PDF(5)
Abstract:
Information is an important basis for state governance.The contradiction between conventional governance mechanism and campaign-style governance mechanism is deeply reflected in the differences between daily management and emergency management in China.Centralized bureaucratical governance logic inevitably requires the daily management to adopt a non-personalized management model of the bureaucracy.Responsibility for the direct superior shapes the conventional information transfer mechanism in which information gradually decays in the vertical direction.However,under the emergency management mechanism,accurate decision-making by superiors in responding to emergencies depends on the grasp of real information,while the representational blame avoidance caused by conventional mechanisms will weaken the accuracy of decision-making by superiors.Thus, it has shaped the "Information Paradox" phenomenon of Chinese state governance in the emergency management mechanism.
Collaboration in Horizontal-circle and Vertical-layer: The Governance Logic of National Outbreak Emergency in the Perspective of the Scale of Political Geography
ZHAO Ji
2020, 36(2): 55-59.
Abstract(275) PDF(3)
Abstract:
National governance is a systematic and integrated global operation in complex geographic space.Governance units of various scales form specific "ring structures" based on the containment and containment relationships.In epidemic prevention and emergency management,we are faced with the dual task of epidemic prevention and control and social risk prevention and control.The governance units of the state,city and community need to play an interactive and cooperative role.Taking this as a mirror,this paper holds that the governance of a country in the sense of political geography needs the governance units of various scales to give play to the governance effectiveness and establish a governance community serving the operation of the governance units.In the future, we should plan the modernization of national governance in accordance with the thinking of "Circlelayer collaboration".
Behind the Epidemic of NCP: A Realist Review of Global Governance
SU Yun-ting
2020, 36(2): 60-67.
Abstract(314) PDF(4)
Abstract:
Realism is the most influential school of contemporary global governance.It still dominates the governance practices of various countries in the context of the epidemic of NCP.The realist view of global governance is rooted in the ideological tradition of political realism,which has been passed down through traditional realism to neorealism.It is the orthodoxy of global governance.Based on the view of evil nature, reasonal actors and international anarchy, realism takes a pessimistic and cautious approach to global governance, highlighting the dominance of state, and endowing power politics with decisive position.Then realism created a world of hostilities and conflicts.It is helpful to analyze the historical evolution and developmental logic of realism for understanding the global epidemic governance.

From the Spread of Western Learning to the Revival of Confucianism: The Problem of Confucianism Modernization in Horizon of Sinicization of Marxism
ZHU Guang-ya, JIANG Jun-ren
2020, 36(2): 89-96.
Abstract(279) PDF(3)
Abstract:
In modern times, after the conflict between Chinese and western civilization, China has gone through a process that western learning was introduced into China.The spread of western learning was divided into three levels:technical, institutional and cultural level.The New Culture Movement is the highest level of Chinese people consciously learning from the West,because it introduced Marxism into China.Since then,Chinese have really found the right way to save the country and nationality from peril.Today, however, the scientific nihilism of Confucianism has emerged, which advocates to replace Marxism with Confucianism and builds China into a Confucianism state.This trend of thought was not unfamiliar in Chinese modern history,because at every historical stage that Chinese learned from the West to save the country and nationality from ruin,Chinese traditional Confucianism whose core was feudal ethics never stopped to speak.Today,the rise of this trend of thought is nothing more than the inertia of thousands of years of Chinese feudal ethics.In the historical process of Sinicization of Marxism,it would disappear with the fusion of Chinese and western civilizations.

ZHANG Rong-fang, YE Zi
2020, 36(2): 103-112.
Abstract(346) PDF(3)
Abstract:
The international investment system is in crisis, and a growing number of countries are questioning whether the investor protection system provided by bilateral investment agreements is indeed beneficial to increase the flow of investment.Many countries around the world are carrying out drastic reforms in foreign investment laws.Taking South Africa's practice as a realistic starting point,with summarizing the reasons for the reform of South Africa's investment protection system and deeply analyzing the legislative intent of "Protection of Investment Law", this paper expounds its choice of safeguarding the regulatory power of domestic public interests through domestic legislation so as to provide recessive legal risk report and to reveal the significance of law reform for Chinese investors in South Africa during the process of "One Belt One Road".As for the authorities of South Africa,the challenge to establish a new investment protection system in the future lies in how to maintain a balance between keeping a stable,predictable investment environment and achieving several objectives of reform.
On the Legislation Perfection about the Issues Arising from “Zero or Negative Fee for Tour”
LI Li, ZHANG Ting
2020, 36(2): 113-118.
Abstract(182) PDF(3)
Abstract:
This thesis uses case studies, normative analysis, and policy value research methods to study the causes of the legal system of zero-density group fees in tourism,which is less likely to be legally applicable.The purpose is to propose countermeasures.After the analysis,it is concluded that the zero-negative group fee is essentially the service price agreed in the travel service contract is equal to or lower than the travel service cost.In the process of fulfilling the travel service contract,the travel agency collects the rebate through various implicit forms to make up for the loss.The zero-negative group fee damages the fair trade rights of tourism consumers and the choice of tourism products,which undermines the order of the tourism market.Under the current legal system,the regulation of zero-negative group fees has its institutional dilemma,mainly because the criteria for identification in the Tourism Law are not clear.It is manifested in the fact that Article 35 of the Tourism Law explicitly prohibits zero-negative group fees.However, the effectiveness is not ideal, mainly because of the unreasonable low price, deception, coercion, and the scope of "specific shopping places".For the regulation of zero-negative group fees in tourism, it is suggested that we can start from the aspects of improving legislation, strengthening supervision, self-discipline and heteronomy, and establishing a comprehensive coordination mechanism.
