论文题目：从顺应论的视角看企业外宣翻译中的语篇重构
1、选题意义和背景
随着中国加入世界贸易组织，中国企业的对外联系也日益增多。中国企业要想打入国际市场，提高在国际市场上的知名度，企业网站或宣传册上的企业简介扮演着十分重要的地位。通过阅读企业宣传资料，读者可以看出企业外宣材料既有关于企业的基本信息介绍，也有企业所做的文字上、句法上、结构上的这染来达到推广企业、大市场的目的。汉语企业外宣材料的翻译在英译过程中会涉及到与目的语不同的语言习惯、行文方式以及文化因素、社会政治因素、心理因素和审美因素等，这就需要译者对原文本做出适当调整，从内容和形式上对语篇进行重构，以此实现对交际意图的顺应。根据赖斯的文本类型说，本文有三种类型，分别是“信息型”、“表达型”和“诱导型”.笔者认为，企业外宣翻译属于“信息型”和“诱导型”文本兼而有之，而且更侧重于“诱导型”.因此，外宣翻译要更加注重文本的交际功能，要更多的考虑如何使译文所传递的信息更便于目的语读者理解和接受，并让读者产生共鸣，继而付诸行动，实现译文预期的功能。
比利时语用学家维索尔伦(Verschuem)提出了顺应论，将语言的使用过程看做语言为顺应不同的交际目的和交际对象进行动态选择的过程。因而可以从顺应论的视角研究语言使用。翻译作为一种特殊的交际方式，也可以从顺应论的视角对其进行研究。优秀的企业宣传材料不仅会提高企业的知名度，还会为企业带来不可估量的经济效益，因此任何一个想打入国际市场的企业务必在其外宣材料的翻译上做足功夫。由于中西方文化背景、历史渊源、生活环境的不同，译者在翻译企业外宣材料时为了获取目的语读者的认可并激发他们付诸行动，就要顺应目的语读者的阅读习惯、审美习惯以及心理因素、文化因素等对原文做出形式上和内容上的调整，而这一顺应的过程也是语篇重构的过程。本文突破性的将顺应论与语篇重构结合起来，并结合西麦克展览公司宣传材料和海天调味食品股份有限公司宣传材料及其翻译，试图从顺应论的视角分析企业外宣翻译中的语篇重构现象。
2、论文综述/研究基础
1987年维索尔伦(Verschueren)提出顺应论之后，在语用学界引起了很大反响，不久国内学者就将其引进到中国来。国内学者不仅从理论层面对顺应论进行研究和探索，而且将顺应论应用到翻译理论和实践、外语教学、二语习得、文化传播等领域。在这些领域中，成果最大的当属顺应论对翻译理论和其应用的研究。我国真正将顺应论引入翻译研究开始于21世纪初。
1 国外顺应论研究状况。
比利时语用学家维索尔伦(Verschueren)在《IprA工作文集》(IprA WorkingDocument 1) (1987, 45-48)中发表了一篇名为《作为顺应论的语用学》，标志着顺应论的提出。1995年，他较为详细并系统地在他主编出版的第一本《语用学手册》(handbook of Pragmatics)中对顺应论进行了进一步阐述。他认为，语言的使用过程就是语言为顺应不同的交际目的和交际对象进行动态地选择的过程。他将语用学描述为关于语言整体的、功能性综观，并将语用学定义为语言和交际在认知、社会与文化方面的研究。1998年，阿萨卡瑟(AsaKasher)主编的《语用学的关键概念》Pragmatics;: Critical Concepts)论文集中，维索尔伦发表了一篇名为《交际动态过程的语用模式》(v4 Pragmatic model for the dynamatics of communication )的文章，主要研究了顺应论中顺应的动态性。1999年，在他的专着《语用学新解》(Understaning Pragmatics)中，维索尔伦强调了语用学的地位和作用，这本书的出现标志着顺应论走向成熟。该书主张把语用学当作一种研究视角，突破了以往学者将语用学看作语言学的一个核心分支(语音学、音位学、形态学、句法学、语义学)的看法，而认为语用学是一种语言功能的视角或纵观，贯穿于语言学研究和使用的方方面面，可以照应到语言的各个层次。运用这一视角，可以研究不同的语言材料。这是一种研究方法上的革命，可以为语言的不同层面进行语用分析，也为语用学的学科性质进行了重新定位。
2 国内顺应论研究状况。
钱冠连是国内第一位将顺应论引入中国进行研究的学者。在他发表在《外语教学与研究》上的《语用学：语言适应理论----Verschueren语用学新论评述》(1991,62-66)的文章中，将维索尔伦对语言适应包括五个方面，即适应的对象、层次、阶段、领悟程度和适应策略进行了分析，并且就语言适应、选择和语言功能综观三者的关系进行了探讨，认真分析对比了维索尔伦的语用学新论和以往的语用学的区别。他还在《外语教学与研究》上发表了一篇《语用学：统一连贯的理论框架〈如何理解语用学〉述评》(2000,230-232)，该文章首先解释了语用学综观论的理论源头。维索尔伦从Morris的理论中得出了任何规则里都有语用成分，也能从不同的语言成分中审视到语用视角。其建设性意义体现在将语用学从语言学的并列学科出分割出来，使其不再属于语言资源的语言学，而是加入到语言使用的语言学去，作为是一种语言综观和视角来研究和使用，这不仅仅可以解决语用学问题，还为今后人们从语用学角度解释其他问题提供了一种新的视角。
国内除钱冠连外，2007年何自然主编的《语用三论：关联论顺应论模因论》一书也对维索尔伦的顺应论进行了详细介绍和评述。和以往语言学及语用学着作不同的是，该书紧紧把握住语用学研究与发展的方向，集语用学的三个前沿理论(关联论、顺应论、模因论)为一体来向国内读者进行西方翻译理论的介绍。
关于顺应论的部分，该书介绍了顺应论的理论来源、顺应论的三个核心概念、顺应论的视角观、顺应论的分析维度、顺应论的应用等。本书中理论与实例有效结合，为读者展现了顺应论的完整框架及其应用。该书指出，顺应论是宏观语用学的核心，顺应论为我们提供了一个研究和探讨语用学的全新视角。谭晓晨发表在《外语与外语教学》上的《语境的动态研究一--维索尔伦的语境适应论评介》(2000, 50-52)中介绍了维索尔伦的语境适应论，探讨了语言和语境互为构建的动态关系，指出动态生成的语境观是对传统语境研究及时而必要的补充。孙炬发表在《山东大学学报》上的《维索尔伦顺应论的语言哲学观》(2007,51-55)从语言哲学的立场阐释了维索尔伦的顺应论。语言的使用是哲学立场的反映，纵观维索尔伦的语用思想，折射出体现在意义观、心理认知观和语境观三个方面的语言哲学。此外，刘正光、吴志高从哲学、心理学以及语言学的角度论述了顺应论的理论基础，除了对语言顺应论做出肯定，他们还指出“将‘顺应’看成一把万能的朗匙，以解释所有的语言运用，有运用过度之嫌”(李元胜，2007:124)。
中国学者不仅专门对顺应论进行研究，还将其与其他理论结合或者将顺应论应用到不同的领域。在利用顺应论对其他问题进行研究的过程中，顺应论对翻译的研究占据多数。
从理论研究的角度来看，有的学者侧重于顺应论对翻译理论研究的启示，戈玲玲在发表在《外语学刊》上的《顺应论对翻译研究的启示----兼论语用翻译标准》(2000,7-11) -文中，为我们展现了语用翻译理论的发展历程，它超越了以往语言学研究的框架，将翻译看作是一种动态的信息交流活动。文章还指出，根据顺应论，语言和语境之间的顺应是一个相互的过程，两者可以相互影响，同样，翻译作为语言转换的过程，也会涉及到原语和目的语之间的相互顺应，这种顺应应该以满足交际双方的需要为目的，对交际语境、语言的选择和语言结构做出改变。
有的学者从顺应论的角度分析翻译策略和方法，王建国发表于《外语研究》上的《从语用顺应论的角度看翻译策略与方法》(2005,55-59) -文中，针对国内外翻译界对翻译方法和翻译策略的争论，他指出直译、意译、归化、异化只是翻译方法，而不是翻译策略，动态顺应才是翻译策略。同时，他还指出翻译的过程和结果是动态顺应的过程和结果。
顺应论在与翻译结合的过程中，学者们除了从翻译理论研究的角度分析和阐释顺应论对翻译研究的意义外，还将顺应论应用到具体的翻译实践中去，比如文学作品译作分析、应用文本译作分析，同时还有学者将顺应论与语用策略研究、外语教学研究、跨文化交际等方面联系起来。
叶苗在其着作《应用翻译语用观》COn Pragmatics Translation from theperspective of Pragmatics)中，首先对应用翻译进行了定位，然后从语用学的角度研究应用翻译。同时她主张以顺应论为基础来讨论和解释异化，并以《选美中国》为例，结合应用翻译中“异化”和“归化”之争，提出了在对具有中国文化特色的应用文本翻译时，译者可以采取异化策略，担负起传播中国文化的使命，扩大目的语读者的文化语境、认知语境，激发他们对中国文化和传统的兴趣和探索，增强我国软实力。
纵观国内顺应论的研究现状以及顺应论与翻译结合的研究现状，可以看出在顺应论对翻译的结合方面，研究者几乎都是从文学翻译、应用文翻译的角度进行研究，而且很多研究还是局限于维索尔伦顺应论的推介和重申，缺乏创新点，并且对理论的适用范围没有做出明确规定，导致了顺应论在很多领域的误用和滥用。

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation
I. Purpose and Significance
With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.
It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.
According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.
Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.
II. Literature Review
Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.
With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.
Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.
I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.
Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.
In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.
I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.
In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.
III. Feasibility Analysis
This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:
have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.
have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .
have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in
translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.
have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.
have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.
instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.
IV. Problems of the research and solutions
1. Problems
Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.
2. Solutions
(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.
(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.
(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.
V. Necessary conditions
1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.
2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.
3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.

中国的武术，源远流长。南拳北腿，少林武当，太极八卦连环掌，各门各派尽显神通。纵观中华武术的历史，无疑是一部可歌可泣的爱国史。所以武术的精神，首先是爱国。陈式太极拳是武术的组成部份，它是人民用以锻炼身体和自卫的一种方法，在各界人士中有着极其深刻的影响。陈式太极拳本身有较高的武德要求和道德修养，它不但是对每个习武者的起码要求，而且也是练好陈式太极拳所具备的首要条件和必要条件。练武，要具备有武德。“武”是干戈军旅之事；“德”指道德、品德，它是社会意识形态之一，是调整人们之间以及个人和社会之间的关系的行为的准则和规范。它以善与恶、正义与非正义、公正与偏私、诚实与虚伪等道德概念宋计价人们的国粹、宝贵的文化遗产一——武术被世界人民所认识后，逐渐在推向世界的大好形势下，更应该尊重武德、进行武德教育，更应该明白练武是为众人的身体健康。为人类造福的这一宗旨，所以练武要具备有高尚的武德修养，也是当代武术推向世界的时代要求。那么，具体到陈式太极拳武德范畴有哪些?应怎样去修养呢?根据有关陈家太极拳的历史考证，自陈王廷创造性地发展太极拳以来，先辈们已留下了不少的光辉论术和典范，精辟地阐术了陈式太极拳在思想上的道德修养，(详看陈家太极拳门规戒律及学拳须知)。结合当代社会高度的发展，武术推向世界的大好前景，归纳起来有几个方面：全心全意为人类造福，继承和发展陈式太极拳，为使中华武术掘起，腾飞世界。这是武德修养的宗旨和目的。陈式太极拳是多拳种的技术汇总，练武者都要有一定的思想基础、崇高的理想、高尚的武术道德情操，才能使自己的技术得到充分地掌握和发挥，才能继承和发扬、普及和提高陈式太极拳，否则，就会失去精神的动力和战斗的意志，就不能抵制各种腐化因素的侵袭，就不能使中华武术冲小亚洲、腾飞世界，甚至会反其道而行之，将武术引到邪路上去。陈式太极拳的武德修养，有着几百年的光荣传统，有着极为严格的门规戒律教育下一代.(这也是陈式太极拳不够普及的主要原因)。要真正的学好练好陈式太极拳，首先必须有“持之以恒、锲而不舍”的毅力来作保证。古人云“非恒无以学成”；学论讲：“拳如逆水行舟，不进则退”： “有志者事竟成”；达到目标的奥妙，唯一的力量是坚持精神。古今中外，不管学文习武，凡是真才实学的获得，完全是靠自己顽强的毅力，勤奋的学习精神，这也正是陈式太极拳在武德修养上的重要一环。太极拳一层深—层，层层妙无穷，若得太极妙，勤、学、苦、功、恒，只有这样持之以恒的信心，才能达到自己预期的目的，熟练和掌握太极拳技巧，使自己的技术更上一层楼。谦虚和诚实也是陈式太极拳武德修养不可缺少的重要因素。太极拳论讲：“学太极拳不可满，满则招损……”学拳一定要谦虚，戒骄戒躁，人若胜我，则敬重之，不可有傲忌之心;人若不胜我，则谦待之，不可有轻薄之意，陈家先辈陈发科老师在北京一生传习太极拳，拳艺高超，徒弟众多，交结甚广，但他德高望重，从来没有对立面，有着“陈不中”之美称。这种光辉典范，给我们练武者作出了榜样。学练陈式太极拳也正需要这种谦虚和诚实的思想，只有保持这种谦虚好学的 态度，陈式太极拳才能真正学到手，练得精，运用自如。所以，骄傲和虚伪是进步中的大敌，是失败的阴影，这是颠扑不破的真理。古代如《三国》马谡失街亭、关羽失荆州，都是傲兵必败的教训。为此，在陈式太极拳的武德中加强谦虚和诚实的修养是完全必要。提倡文明，反对野蛮，是陈式太极拳武德修养的重要内容，文明是表示人类社会进步的程度与状态。文明行为所包含的内容非常丰富、具体，譬如：当你与人相处时，是否有礼貌、尊重人、帮助人，在公共场合里是否遵守准则、不打骂、不起哄、语言干净、准确、优美。如果这些方面都做得很好，你的行为就是文明。陈式太极拳的武德也正需要这种文明的行为，拳论中讲：“学太极拳不可狂，狂则生事非，不但手不可狂，即言亦不可狂”。学练太极拳即修身而养性，仁义为本，恭敬待人：不与狂徒较量，不与无知争强：别人争强，我可一让再让，不得以的情况下，再自卫，点到为止，但遇暴徒、敌人，要仗义勇为，不可手软。要尊师爱友。拳论讲：“学太极拳不可不敬，不敬则外慢师友，内慢身体，心不敛束，如何能学艺”。古代曾有天、地、君、亲、师的提法，把师同天、地、君、亲相提并论，说明了老师的重要地位，只有尊师爱友、虚心好学的高尚品德，才能师徒容洽，学习提高。浇花浇根，教人教心，拳教练一生。听其言，可知其行；观其拳，可知其德；武术中武德居首也。自有武术之日起，各路豪杰便尚武习武，保家卫国。古有三国单刀赴会的关公，明有令倭寇闻风丧胆的戚家军，近有勇斗俄国大力士、开创“精武门”、令外国人刮目相看的霍元甲。当年中国人被辱为“东亚病夫”，中国人受尽外国人的欺侮。1900年庚子事变后，有俄国“大力士”来津，目中无人。霍元甲挺身而出，与之较量，使其狼狈败走，一雪“病夫”之耻。毛泽东说过，“枪杆子里出政权”，意即正义的力量的胜利也必须以武力为依托。尤其在那些兵器不发达的朝代，练就一身好武艺，便可以精忠报国。在现代亦是如此。解放三军，哪一军不需要过硬的身体素质，不需“武艺高强”。而且，中华武术独树一帜，在国际上屡屡获奖，怎不令中国人自豪呢! 武术的另一部历史便是发展史。自创立之初，多少能人志士，凭借自己的习武经验和聪明才智，悉心研究，大胆创新，所以才有了武术的各门各路各种套路。武术是一个相当大的活动平台，任诚心者自由发挥。从最初的击和刺简单动作，历经几朝几代，内容不断发展完善。周时《周易》，产生了太极学说，奠定了中国武术的理论基础。春秋战国，群雄争霸，剑术得到空前发展，所以有“项庄舞剑，意在沛公”。宋元时期，民间武术兴起，武术呈现繁荣景象。明末清初，武术得到很大发展。太极拳就是这一时期的杰出代表之一。陈氏太极拳创始人陈王廷资质聪慧，刻苦勤奋好习武，因生不逢时，无法书报国之志，故隐居乡间，立志创一套拳谱。他博采众长，始有阴阳相合、刚柔相济的太极拳流传于世。民国时期，民间出现了许多拳社、武士会等武术组织。新中国成立后，国家建立了武术协会、武术队等，形成了空前广泛的群众性武术活动网。首届国际武术节的举办，更是拉开了中国武术的大旗。“把中国武术推向世界”，已不再是一个遥远的梦想。武术的另一精神是精进。习武之人要充分发扬刻苦奋进的精神。“外练筋骨皮，内练一口气”便是这种精神形象的说明。无论什么功夫，要想练成，必须狠下一番苦功。冬炼三九，夏练三伏。要抱定精益求精的精神。武术更讲究所谓“高平低下”。真正的高手往往闭门修练，待到功成之日，往往已是霜染双鬓。电影中的少林高僧常常是这种境界。练武之人偷懒一日，功夫便荒废一日。武术又是修身养性的一种方式。武术并非打打杀杀，那是武术最低级的应用形式。无数最高级的境界是“无招胜有招”。中华武术是中国几千年历史文化的积淀，学习中国武术也是接受和感悟中华几千年悠悠文明历史的过程。“练武先练心”。学习武术可以培养一个人扎实稳进的精神。少林寺练武很重视“桩功”锻炼，因为桩功不仅可以增强劲力，而且可以调理气息，修身养性。急不来，更求不来，需一个“忍”字先。学习武术不仅要下苦功，而且重在心法。所谓“心法”，便是武术的精髓所在。辟如太极，讲究“非顺即逆、刚柔相济、虚实相生、对立平衡”。他的一招一式，无不让人深深感触周易的“天人合一”的思想。推而广之，生活中不乏不顺心之事，何不顺其势，先稳住自己，与之周旋，待机会来，再发起攻势。正应了太极进退的心法。习武之于修身，功效可见一斑。即此，我所理解的武术精神便可概括为八字诀“爱国、发展、精进、修身”。中国是举世闻名的文明古国，自古以来就非常重视礼仪，讲究道德。文有文风、武有武德。音乐结合中国人或者男儿当自强
我就是体育学院毕业的 武术 跆拳道专业 这样写吧 就是你在学习武术和了解武术的过程中 哪些是自己的感受 不能生搬硬套 得是自己的切身体会 然后把它融入到武术传统的概念和基础知识里 以自己独到的观点论述的形式 就OK！学校看到是你自己的独到见解 没有哪些生搬硬套在里面 就能算你完成了
就和作文的写法差不多 ,标题就是和武术有关的. 下来就写你在武术里的感悟和领会.

Languages differ enormously from one another, and these differences are related to important differences in the customs and behaviors and other aspects of the cultures in which those language reside. In a word, language is a mirror of culture. When we learn a new word we tend to look for its meaning in the word itself. Yet in addition to its dictionary meanings, the same word may stir up different associations in people, because of cultural differences. In our daily life, color words are the common illustrations of the cultural differences in language use. In Chinese and English cultures, color words are in the same way influenced by cultures, and used widely in people’s daily life. Research Significance: As the differences between Eastern and Western cultures led to the understanding of the color words are not the same . Color words contain a lot of deep meaning, implies a different ethnic feelings. If we do not take into account the impact of cultural differences, we are difficult to understand the implicit meaning of color words. The significance of this thesis is to enable a better understanding of color words, in order to enhance communication skills, avoid conflict of cultures. 二、课题研究现状及发展趋势 (课题研究领域的发展现状及可能的发展方向) Research Status: Study of color words has long attracted linguists’ attention. The bright lights of the objective world and for humankind as a whole are the same, but the national language or in different books of different ages or different geographical dialects often be found to have different understanding about color words. This concentrated and fully prove that language is the result of human cognition to understand and express the objective world, different groups of people in cognitive understanding and expression of the world, due to the different natural environment, social life, cultural traditions. Study of color words in different languages between the similarities and differences. The same object can look at how the differences in cognitive terms showing similarities and differences between how the social and cultural differences and further expansion of the semantic differences, which for the cognitive linguistics, comparative linguistics and culture, linguistics, and on second language teaching of applied linguistics has an important significance.. Research Tendency: 21st century’s color words study should stress the originality on research based on the achievements of the previous scholars, domestic or abroad. The study should keep track of the latest development of color words, making breakthrough, upgrading the research quality. 三、研究内容及研究目标 (对研究的内容进行说明，并阐明要达到的目标) Research Contents: A. Cultural Connotations of Black and Reflections in Idioms Connotations and Their Reflections in Idioms Black Is Associated With the Solemn and the Dignified Black Is Associated With Profit Black Is Associated With the Black People 2.

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation
I. Purpose and Significance
With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.
It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.
According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.
Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.
II. Literature Review
Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.
With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.
Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.
I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.
Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.
In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.
I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.
In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.
III. Feasibility Analysis
This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:
have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.
have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .
have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in
translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.
have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.
have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.
instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.
IV. Problems of the research and solutions
1. Problems
Despite the references I have collected and read, a thorough study of ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from the point of freely using still needs far more. What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.
2. Solutions
(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.
(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.
(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.
V. Necessary conditions
1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.
2. The Internet is another source of information and on the campus we have easy access to the Internet.
3. I have been assigned an instructor to guide me through the whole process of planning and writing.

1、选题意义和背景
The progress of economic globalization has greatly hit the social life.
Advertising has become an important way of modern marketing and has attractedmerchants and the company. As people's consciousness worldwide enhances, manyproducts and services of advertising will be translated into other languages forpromotion to explore overseas markets. Advertising, as an effective way ofdisseminating brand information, has penetrated into many aspects of social life, andit plays a bridge role in connection and communication. Since China's accession tothe WTO, its connection with the world gets even closer. More and moreinternational enterprises and product brands come into China's huge market.
Translation of products and services for overseas consumers is not only the functionof promoting consumption, but also the effect of external publicity. In the globalmarket, advertising translation not only brings an opportunity for advertising, butalso has brings the huge challenge. Therefore, mastery of both Chinese and Englishadvertising translation is particularly important.
Skopos theory is the foundation and the core theory of functionalism. Skopostheory holds that the process of the whole translation behavior is determined to thepurpose of translation action, that is, the end justifies the means. The purpose of thetranslation behavior is the core element which determines the translation process.
Advertising translation has a strong purpose. What is more important toadvertising translation is whether translation can convey the purpose of source textand achieve the anticipated target of the source text, so as to attract the attention offoreign customers to induce their consumption desire, eventually to incur purchasebehavior.
2、论文综述/研究基础
1 Advertising Translation Studies in the West.
Advertising translation was mentioned in translation studies for the first time inHurbin's (1972) article “Peut-on traduire la langue de la publicé” (Can OneTranslate the Language of Advertising?)。 At that time, linguistics was the dominanthumanistic discipline, meanwhile, linguistics made translating a code-switchingoperation. Equivalence-based linguistic approaches mainly focus on the source text.
Hurhin argued that for one source text, there are several translations, and thetranslators chose which translation is the most appropriate one. Hurbin also pointedthat if glossaries of advertising language is compiled, this was made easier. So thetranslators will be easy to find the most appropriate equivalent expressions betweenthe source and the target text.
In Candace Seguinot's (1995) article “Translation and Advertising: GoingGlobal in Cultural Functions of Translation”. The main opinion of which is thatacross cultural boundaries, there is an understanding of culture and semioticsappearing in the marketing of goods and services. It goes well beyond both languageand design.
Another representative article “Advertising: a five-stage strategy for translationin Translation” as Intercultural Communication which is edited by C. Nord et al. Thearticle is published by Smith & Klein-Braley (1997)。 In this article, they conduct acontrastive analysis of English and German advertising. Then they developedtaxonomy of strategies for the analysis of advertising translation.
Up to now, the book which maybe the only one published exclusively onadvertisement translation is Translation Practices in International Advertisingwritten by Mathieu Guidere (2001)。 This book mainly talks about various aspects ofadvertising translation in international market and mainly concerns the globaladvertising of multinational companies, because they need to translate their productsinformation into other languages. The author analyzes some examples in advertisingtranslation and he shows readers some essential problems in current translation ideas.
This book introduced the strategies of translation which are implemented by the multinational firms to break into new markets.
2 Advertising Translation Studies in China.
Domestic advertising translation studies officially started in 1990s. In terms ofresearch contents, the initial studies mainly focused on the discussion about specificadvertising translation of idioms and the existing problems in Chinese-Englishadvertising translation. That was the primary stage. Years later, advertisingtranslation principle and criteria became the research themes. People hold the viewthat, advertising translation should give attention to in many aspects, such as text,language beauty, consumer psychology. Researchers illustrated their respectivepoints of view from different angles. Since the late 90s, although the discussion oftranslation principle and criteria were still mentioned, the researchers' attention weregradually focused on translation of difficult parts in advertising, such as therhetorical devices, emotional transmission, brand image and trademark reproduction ,etc. In terms of research methods, domestic advertising translation study mainly usesthe inductive method and the case study. Nevertheless, in recent years, researchersbegin to use the theory achievements of pragmatics and other related disciplines toanalyze different kinds of problems in advertising translation, and then put forwardsome translation strategies.
As early as xx, Li Fan proposed the development of the advertising languageposed a severe challenge to advertising translation. The artful advertisings require thetranslator to break hard the tradition of the original, boldly innovate, and improve thequality of translation. There are three reasons for flexible advertising translation: 1)the purpose of advertising is to induce consumer to purchase products. Text is justmeans, so translations do not have to stick to the text equivalent; 2) the feature ofadvertising language is vivid, which is the essence of advertising language. If thetranslation is not bold to change, there will be no magic translation; 3) formulaicexpressions are common use in advertising, if not alternative, it may be translatedinto foreign stereotyped writing (黎凡 xx:29-31)。 At the same time, researchersthought in terms of some specific advertisements, flexible translation seems to be theonly way, especially in the four kinds of advertising: 1) advertising used of witty and polished words; 2) advertising used of brand name; 3) advertising used of puns; 4)advertising with strong national culture color.
In order to achieve concise expression, attract more readers' attention, facilitatereaders recognize and remember, advertising writing should follow the KISSprinciple, namely, “keep it short and sweet” (郭可 1992:57-64)。 A great number ofstudies on advertising translation are associated with concise problem. Ding Shude isdedicated to his studies. He holds that: 1) Chinese advertising often uses modifiers toemphasis, product characteristics, while English advertising is simple words, mainlywith oral type. a lot of subject-predicative phrases in Chinese can be directlytranslated into adjectives English , such as 速度快、效率高、行动灵活 can betranslated into “fast, efficient and handy”; 2) There are a large number of the fourwords in Chinese advertising structure, which bring parallelism and overlapping tostrengthen language, but there is no such characteristic in English. InChinese-English translation should hold the center, around the center word leads toall aspects; 3) there are often loose sentences, which express a large amount ofinformation in Chinese advertising. Translation should be concise and compact,strengthen the logic; 4) Chinese advertising commonly uses formulaic expressions.
Translation should be fascinating, considering the overall rhetorical, but not stackrhetoric. Good English advertising language is not many words, but it is impressive(丁树德 xx: 42-43)。 Cao Shunfa also takes a large number of examples of bothEnglish-Chinese translation two aspects show that based on the principle of simple,the translation of advertising language should strive to use the most simple languageto express the most complex meaning, to make it easy to be remembered (曹顺发xx: 43-45)。
Equivalence theory is based on Nida's equivalence translation theory. On thisbasis, some researchers point out that commercial advertising translation is mainlyon the equivalence of semantic, social and cultural, and stylistic aspect. 1) Thesemantic equivalence. This is the most basic and important equivalence. From wordto chapter, in order to achieve the semantic equivalence, the first thing to thetranslator is that he must determine the meaning of the translation unit in context.

1、选题意义和背景
The progress of economic globalization has greatly hit the social life.
Advertising has become an important way of modern marketing and has attractedmerchants and the company. As people's consciousness worldwide enhances, manyproducts and services of advertising will be translated into other languages forpromotion to explore overseas markets. Advertising, as an effective way ofdisseminating brand information, has penetrated into many aspects of social life, andit plays a bridge role in connection and communication. Since China's accession tothe WTO, its connection with the world gets even closer. More and moreinternational enterprises and product brands come into China's huge market.
Translation of products and services for overseas consumers is not only the functionof promoting consumption, but also the effect of external publicity. In the globalmarket, advertising translation not only brings an opportunity for advertising, butalso has brings the huge challenge. Therefore, mastery of both Chinese and Englishadvertising translation is particularly important.
Skopos theory is the foundation and the core theory of functionalism. Skopostheory holds that the process of the whole translation behavior is determined to thepurpose of translation action, that is, the end justifies the means. The purpose of thetranslation behavior is the core element which determines the translation process.
Advertising translation has a strong purpose. What is more important toadvertising translation is whether translation can convey the purpose of source textand achieve the anticipated target of the source text, so as to attract the attention offoreign customers to induce their consumption desire, eventually to incur purchasebehavior.
2、论文综述/研究基础
1 Advertising Translation Studies in the West.
Advertising translation was mentioned in translation studies for the first time inHurbin's (1972) article “Peut-on traduire la langue de la publicé” (Can OneTranslate the Language of Advertising?)。 At that time, linguistics was the dominanthumanistic discipline, meanwhile, linguistics made translating a code-switchingoperation. Equivalence-based linguistic approaches mainly focus on the source text.
Hurhin argued that for one source text, there are several translations, and thetranslators chose which translation is the most appropriate one. Hurbin also pointedthat if glossaries of advertising language is compiled, this was made easier. So thetranslators will be easy to find the most appropriate equivalent expressions betweenthe source and the target text.
In Candace Seguinot's (1995) article “Translation and Advertising: GoingGlobal in Cultural Functions of Translation”. The main opinion of which is thatacross cultural boundaries, there is an understanding of culture and semioticsappearing in the marketing of goods and services. It goes well beyond both languageand design.
Another representative article “Advertising: a five-stage strategy for translationin Translation” as Intercultural Communication which is edited by C. Nord et al. Thearticle is published by Smith & Klein-Braley (1997)。 In this article, they conduct acontrastive analysis of English and German advertising. Then they developedtaxonomy of strategies for the analysis of advertising translation.
Up to now, the book which maybe the only one published exclusively onadvertisement translation is Translation Practices in International Advertisingwritten by Mathieu Guidere (2001)。 This book mainly talks about various aspects ofadvertising translation in international market and mainly concerns the globaladvertising of multinational companies, because they need to translate their productsinformation into other languages. The author analyzes some examples in advertisingtranslation and he shows readers some essential problems in current translation ideas.
This book introduced the strategies of translation which are implemented by the multinational firms to break into new markets.
2 Advertising Translation Studies in China.
Domestic advertising translation studies officially started in 1990s. In terms ofresearch contents, the initial studies mainly focused on the discussion about specificadvertising translation of idioms and the existing problems in Chinese-Englishadvertising translation. That was the primary stage. Years later, advertisingtranslation principle and criteria became the research themes. People hold the viewthat, advertising translation should give attention to in many aspects, such as text,language beauty, consumer psychology. Researchers illustrated their respectivepoints of view from different angles. Since the late 90s, although the discussion oftranslation principle and criteria were still mentioned, the researchers' attention weregradually focused on translation of difficult parts in advertising, such as therhetorical devices, emotional transmission, brand image and trademark reproduction ,etc. In terms of research methods, domestic advertising translation study mainly usesthe inductive method and the case study. Nevertheless, in recent years, researchersbegin to use the theory achievements of pragmatics and other related disciplines toanalyze different kinds of problems in advertising translation, and then put forwardsome translation strategies.
As early as xx, Li Fan proposed the development of the advertising languageposed a severe challenge to advertising translation. The artful advertisings require thetranslator to break hard the tradition of the original, boldly innovate, and improve thequality of translation. There are three reasons for flexible advertising translation: 1)the purpose of advertising is to induce consumer to purchase products. Text is justmeans, so translations do not have to stick to the text equivalent; 2) the feature ofadvertising language is vivid, which is the essence of advertising language. If thetranslation is not bold to change, there will be no magic translation; 3) formulaicexpressions are common use in advertising, if not alternative, it may be translatedinto foreign stereotyped writing (黎凡 xx:29-31)。 At the same time, researchersthought in terms of some specific advertisements, flexible translation seems to be theonly way, especially in the four kinds of advertising: 1) advertising used of witty and polished words; 2) advertising used of brand name; 3) advertising used of puns; 4)advertising with strong national culture color.

一、“临川四梦的”讽世内容
“临川四梦”都本于小说，但比小说内容丰富，尤其值得注意的是每一部传奇都增添了小说所没有的具有讽刺意义的人物和情节。其讽世内容大致可分为官场社会、时事政治、礼教和人性三个方面。
(一)官场社会之刺
做官几乎是古代所有读书士子的梦想，因为出入官场就意味着拥有盛名、权势和利益。然而汤显祖对明代官场社会有清醒和深刻的认识，在“临川四梦”中对官场社会进行了辛辣的嘲讽，总体上否定了明代官场社会并给予了深刻的鞭挞，主要体现在如下方面。第一，“四梦”塑造了阴险毒辣的“权臣”系列形象。如《紫钗记》里的卢太尉、《南柯记》里的丞相段功和《邯郸记》里的宰相宇文融。这些权臣位高权重，可都是老奸巨猾，品行卑劣，面目可憎。卢太尉将权力用来满足私欲，书生李益中了状元，只因未参拜他，就被贬为玉门外参军;他豢养特务和刺客，谁让他不满就陷害谁。段功和宇文融都与卢太尉是一类的人物。“权臣系列”表现了高层官场之黑暗。第二，“临川四梦”塑造了一批贪赃枉法的大小官吏。譬如《南柯记》中的府幕录事官，他自言“为官只是赌身强，板障。文书批点不成行，混帐。权官掌印坐黄堂，旺相。勾他纸赎与钱粮，一抢。”(第二十一出)他与手下的小吏都不务正业，贪赃枉法，《大明律》的作用就是帮助他们捞银子。《邯郸记》中的崖州司户则是枉法酷吏中的典型。汤显祖生活的嘉靖、隆庆、万历年间，贪赃枉法成了普遍现象。“四梦”刻画的贪官污吏，是对中下层官场社会的讽刺。第三，“临川四梦”讽刺了科场弊端。在汤显祖的年代，科场的不正之风相当严重，科场弊端也是“四梦”的讽刺矛头所指。《邯郸记》中卢生便是通过结拜高官和行贿而一举获得状元的。《牡丹亭》中的识宝使臣苗舜宾不懂文字，却因能辨珠宝，被任命为科举考官。他判卷草率，如同儿戏，因与柳梦梅有旧而判他为状元。科举考试的严肃性轻易地被消除了。此外，“临川四梦”还描摹了走裙带关系、徇私舞弊等官场丑恶现象以及一些官场陋习。如《南柯记》里的淳于棼做的便是“老婆官”，凭其妻瑶芳公主的关系当上了南柯太守，二十年掌一方大权，地位显赫。
(二)时事政治之刺
汤显祖关心时政，在“临川四梦”的创作中讽刺了当代时政，主要体现在三个方面。一是讽刺明政府利用三娘子招降俺答事件。在《牡丹亭》中用了很大篇幅讲述李全夫妇作乱和杜宝平乱之事，但李全作乱之事与《宋史》很少相符，多为虚构，剧中李全怕老婆杨氏，杨氏掌握军政大权，杜宝通过贿赂杨氏才得以平乱并立下军功。汤显祖实乃借此人物与情节讥讽首相张居正支持边将王崇古、吴兑、方逢时等利用三娘子招降俺答事件。[1]明建国后北方边地受到蒙古骚扰两百余年，隆庆四年(1570)，边将上疏主张对蒙古首领行安抚政策，大臣对此意见不一，张居正等支持安抚主张，对蒙古首领俺答赐封，对深受俺答宠爱和器重的三娘子封为“忠顺夫人”。倡议此策的边将此升官，主战官员受到处分。汤显祖支持主战，写过多首诗明确表示对明与蒙古关系的关心及妥协政策的不满。二是讽刺明政府对日本关系上的无能。万历二十年(1592)，日军出征朝鲜，朝鲜向明朝请求援助，明朝派军作战，不能决胜，直至七年后日方丰臣秀吉病死战争才结束，明朝大臣对日和战之争不休。《牡丹亭》中科考试卷的题目是对金策略“和战守三者孰便”，柳梦梅的回答名为主战，实为主和，“生员也无偏主，天下大势，能战而后能守;能守而后能战;可战，可守，而后能和。如医用药，战为表，守为里，和在表里之间”(第四十一出)，得到主考官苗舜宾的表扬。试答的内容乃借插科打诨嘲讽无能又虚伪的明政府。三是讽刺最高统治者之腐败。明朝中后期的最高统治集团对内忧外患视若无睹，荒于政务，日益腐败。如明世宗朱厚熜、神宗朱翊钧皆贪财好货登峰造极，《牡丹亭》以识宝大臣苗舜宾收集到奇异珠宝而受宠提拔为科举典试官;明武宗朱厚照好色荒淫，多次到民间抢夺妇女，《邯郸记》第十三出《望幸》编述唐玄宗东巡的情节对武宗南巡扬州掳掠民女之事进行讽刺，可以肯定，汤显祖“绝非随意点染，其矛头分明是对准明代皇帝”。[2]
(三)礼教和人性之刺
明统治者尊崇孔子，加强礼教，推崇理学，均为钳制思想，加强其专制统治。“临川四梦”揭示了礼教和理学对人的危害性，这集中表现在两方面，一是对女性的压迫，它剥夺以杜丽娘为代表的女性正当的权利，通过妇女教育压制其思想，在行动上则严密禁锢，使女性完全沦为男性的工具;二是对普通民众尤其是读书人的精神戕害，如杜丽娘的老师陈最良思想荒芜，迂腐可笑，他言必称教条，而其教条不出《四书》《五经》和八股文的范围。“四梦”还有对假道学者的嘲弄。《邯郸记》对假道学者的刻画尤为入神。卢生既得高官，既要贪享淫荡生活，但嘴里又要维护道学，他的下场是可怜的，纵欲淫乐使他一命呜呼。关于“临川四梦”礼教与理学之刺，学界论述较多，本文不多赘述。明代虚伪的礼教和理学统治，并未培育人性之善，反而彰显了人情人性的庸俗与丑恶，明中后期社会风尚不象前期那样朴厚，“人情以放荡为快，世风以侈迷相高”(张瀚《松窗梦语》卷之七《风俗记》)。“临川四梦”对人情人性也多有思考和讽刺，如薄情负心者，这主要由《紫钗记》中的李益来表现。李益与霍小玉定下终身，但后来卢太尉挟持他并欲以女妻之时，他经过一番思想斗争后决计抛弃小玉而依附有权有势的卢府，最后历经变故却仍然回到小玉身边，李益的软弱和薄情受到了感情和道德的双重批判。再如卑劣势利者，在《南柯记》和《邯郸记》中，人们在主角淳于棼和卢生得意时毕恭毕敬趋之若骛，失意时则唯恐避之不及。“临川四梦”还讽刺了人性的堕落。《南柯记》中的淳于棼、《邯郸记》中的卢生都演述了人性堕落的过程。富贵之时他们都丧尽了善美之性与羞耻之心，沦为腐朽没落的人，这既与黑暗龌龊的官场环境有很大关系，同时亦由本人的“恶”性所决定。
二、“临川四梦”的讽世特征
首先，讽世意识贯穿于“临川四梦”始终。“四梦”的创作时间从万历十五年(1587)到万历二十九年(1601)，作《紫钗记》时作者三十七岁，作《邯郸记》时五十二岁，前后十五年。四梦的创作正是作者思想从发展到成熟的过程。“临川四梦”一以贯之的讽世意识反映出作者持久的否定态度和批判精神。作者感受到种种丑恶的现实，失望逐渐加深，有时乃至产生绝望和幻灭的情感，这在后“二梦”的佛道倾向中可见一斑。《南柯梦记题词》中说到“世人妄以眷属富贵影像执为吾想，不知虚空中一大穴也”(汤显祖诗文集卷三十三《南柯梦记题词》)，将世人寻常追求的目标都视为空虚，实际否定了现实人生和传统社会的价值观。从这个角度说，汤显祖是社会和时代的叛逆。但另一方面，汤显祖毕竟是深受中国传统伦理道德观念的熏陶浸染，古代知识分子以天下为己任的传统信念根深蒂固，他的社会地位和礼教的修养都限制他，使他不可能与旧观念完全决裂从而摆脱其束缚。所以“四梦”中的讽世意识局部又是有所波动起伏的，有时是较为软弱的。这些复杂情形反映出作为士大夫文人和思想者的汤显祖心灵的痛苦和思想的矛盾。
第二，“临川四梦”对仕宦人生和官场有最多的表现，其讽刺矛头指向最多的也是仕宦人生和官场。做官原是汤显祖青少年时期奋斗的目标，他中年以后大部分时光都在官场度过，但是仕途并没有给他提供治国安邦、大展宏图的机会，他在仕途上颠簸多年后出局。仕途经历让他见识了形形色色的贪官污吏，以及统治集团和国家机器的黑暗腐败。相对于封建礼法和传统文化，汤显祖对仕宦人生和官场的批判和否定是最彻底的。这既由他正直的个性和高洁的操守决定，也与他对官场的清醒认识和深刻体察有关。当然这里也有一个逐渐转变和深化的过程。在“临川四梦”中，《紫钗记》对政治的嘲讽仅限于个别权贵，《牡丹亭》里有的高官如苗舜宾、杜宝并无十分可恶的表现，而到了后二梦里，贪官污吏都在官场中腐烂而不可自拔，本性并不很坏的人只要沉浸其中就被同化染黑丧失本性，《南柯记》里的淳于棼和《邯郸记》里的卢生的经历就说明了这一点，这是因为“症结不在个别官僚士夫的道德品质，而在整个统治集团的政治风气。”[3]如果说“四梦”之首篇《紫钗记》的否定对象只是官场个别权奸的话，到了“四梦”之末篇《邯郸记》的否定对象便是整个官场;《牡丹亭》对时政的讥刺中还夹杂了些许对功业的期待，《南柯记》和《邯郸记》则完全否定了仕宦人生。汤显祖罢官回临川居家后，对官场人物往往不接待，“居家……中丞惠文，郡国守令以下，干旄往往充斥巷左，而多不延接。”[4]
第三，“临川四梦”的讽刺是多指向的，不仅包括时事政治、官场科场，还有文化和人性，反映出汤显祖思考的广泛性。这显示了他对其所生活的时代的深刻体察，也反映出他对更深远的问题的积极探索。由于其思考的广泛深入，汤显祖被人们列为思想家。但“临川四梦”是一组文学艺术作品，不是单纯的哲学思考的演绎，而是对现实世界的描绘和人生感受的抒发，这其中包含、体现了作者的思想。因为“四梦”贴近生活的艺术表现，它在某些某些方面反而超越了当时的哲学思考。譬如《牡丹亭》中杜丽娘“惊梦”“寻梦”的行为以及陈最良的形象，生动地展示出理学思想和礼教文化违背自然和戕害生命的真实面目，这比任何简单的批评和苍白的论证都要深刻。再如后二梦通过对社会丑恶现实和人性堕落过程的描摹以及梦醒成空的结果，揭示了人之存在的荒诞性和人生意义的虚无性。当然这里有佛道出世思想的影响。“临川四梦”讽刺的多指向特征反映出汤显祖多方面的广泛的思考。
三、结语
“临川四梦”的讽世意识既是作者个性和思想的反映，也是戏剧传统精神和时代革弊的强力表达。汤显祖个性耿介，精神不欺，操守高洁。儒道释思想的混合使他既具有强烈的参与意识，包括对政治、社会和人生的参与，又具有距离意识。因而“临川四梦”虽然对社会现实集中描摹，敏锐地透视其中的丑恶人事并予以否定，但并不采取时事批判剧严肃写实与激烈的风格，而是采用“怪怪奇奇，莫可名状”(汤显祖诗文集卷三十二《合奇序》)的写梦手法，借助梦境外壳和讽刺笔法表达了他对社会世态和人性特征的感受与理解。从时代特征来看，明代中期以后思想解放的潮流和社会丑恶情形，促使晚明作家较多地强烈否定客观世界，暴露社会现实的阴暗面，譬如色情文学和公案文学就盛行一时。就戏曲来说，明代中后期戏曲一反明前期粉饰太平、道学气浓的作风，这一时期出现了大量的讽刺戏曲，内容丰富，讽刺的矛头指向各个方面。讽刺成了时代主题之一。汤显祖的“临川四梦”，作为一组传奇作品，凭借艺术大师的高水准创作，唱出了时代最强音，其讽世意识正是时代主题的强力表达，部分内容达到了前所未有的思想高度。

随着网络技术的飞速发展，网络平台越来越开放，网络也越来越普及，国内自20世纪末，兴起一种文学新形势--网络文学，从而一发不可收拾。众多网络小说平台不断发展扩大，网络小说的门槛越来越低，玄幻、武侠、仙侠、言情、都市、历史、穿越等小说类型在网络小说中不断创造数量极为庞大的文学文本，甚至有一部分成为新的文学经典。纵观当今文学现象，网络文学的发展一日千里，而对于网络文学的研究还缺少系统而全面的论著，网络上也仅有文学爱好者进行简单对网络小说的发展脉络进行梳理。
网络文学在数十年的光景中逐渐呈新型之势，发展成为巨大的产业。据不完全统计，网络文学覆盖的读者已达 亿人、注册写手200多万人、市场年收入40多亿元。并且男频和女频不相上下，男频诸如起点中文网、幻剑书盟等，女频诸如红袖添香、锦江中文网等。本人所研究的《三生三世，十里桃花》虽然在言情小说中算不上其中的佼佼者，也称不上巨著。然而它独有的写作艺术与文学模式，开创了仙侠言情体裁的一个新境界，为众多女性读者为之痴迷，并称之为“仙侠言情之红楼”，在心中的地位没有其他书可以比拟。因而选此为题。
(2)本选题的意义、重点、难点及创新点
意义：自网络文学兴起以来，虽然大部分读者都为之喜爱，进行书评或者在贴吧论坛抒发意见看法，但是鲜少有人对新兴的网络小说文本进行具体的解读分析论述。因为这些小说没有重要的历史地位也没有诸多作家学者的关注与认可，甚至在茫茫网络文学中一逝而过，但不能否认在数年之后，网络文学也能历经沉淀，出现耀眼的珍珠。因而算是较新的论文选题。
重点：本选题重在研究《三生三世，十里桃花》的语言写作艺术特色，以及“三生三世，十里桃花”的题目意义和在文中的体现，以及小说写作模式与叙述方式的独特性三个方面。
难点：怎样在没有任何研究资料的情况下，依据文学语言分析模式与所学知识进行系统全面而有意义的研究。
创新点：能够脱离传统论文对于文学著作的研究仅限于经典传统或者大众认可的文学文本，关注网络文学，关注新型小说构成。

How to Deal with Ellipsis in English-Chinese Translation
I. Purpose and Significance
With the development of globalization, the world’s political, economic and cultural communications are becoming increasingly frequent. Therefore, the role of translation cannot be ignored. However, the differences between English and Chinese cultures that are reflected in the two languages pose considerable difficulty.
It is acknowledged that when doing translation one can not translate word for word, or sentence by sentence. Therefore, we must use some translation strategies such as amplification, ellipsis, conversion and so on. Ellipsis as one of the basic translation methods plays an essential role in English-Chinese rendition. Translators apply it in order to make their versions more coherent and understandable.
According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary, ellipsis means leaving out a word or words from a sentence deliberately, when the meaning can be understood without them. Ellipsis in translation does not mean cutting some content from the original articles. What could be omitted are words that are useless in translated works or else they will make the versions redundant or disobey the manner of expression in another language.
Some words and phrases are useless in Chinese but necessary in English. Articles in English are the most significant phenomenon from this aspect. They are very important in English, but we can hardly see any reflection of this part in Chinese. Ellipsis is designed on the basis of faithfulness to the original text, making it more fluent, smooth, concise, thus conforming to idiomatic Chinese. The paper will explore ellipsis in English-Chinese translation from five aspects, which are ellipses of pronouns, conjunctions, articles, prepositions, modifications, so as to achieve smoother and clearer communications among China and English-speaking countries.
II. Literature Review
Long before, some people began to learn other countries’ languages to understand others cultures. In China, Xuanzang was the first translator who not only translated the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese, but introduced the first Chinese writings to foreign countries, making foreigners understand China’s ancient culture. Meanwhile, he was the first to translate Lao Tse's works into Sanskrit. Indian scholars had a high opinion of Xuanzang, "In China, there is no such great translator, and also in the human cultural history, we can only say that Xuanzang is the first great translator."(Ye Lang, 2008) We can say that it was Xuanzang who motivated people to know the different parts of the world, their cultures and the peoples who live there. Then, some big countries such as America, China, and so on became a melting pot.(Gu Zhengkun, 2000) People have imperceptibly spent thousands of years in knowing each other.
With China’s entry into WTO and its open-up policy, cross-cultural exchanges are increasingly frequent between this country and others. A lot of foreign tourists come to visit China. While traveling, these foreigners are not satisfied with the translations of the scenic spots. Sometimes, they even feel confused. A lot of problems exist in the translation, such as misuse of words, poor expression of meaning and so on. All of these poor translations do harm to our country’s international image, and cause a lot of inconveniences for the foreign visitors. (Ma Zuyi, 2000). I am fond of tourism and being a free tourist like the others who are good at enjoying their wonderful lives. The love of tourism makes me feel the need to improve the translation. But every time when I have a trip, many unsuitable translations of the names of those scenic spots will embarrass me. Tourism is part of intercultural communication, so proper translation of the scenic spots become more and more important to our country.
Communication plays a significant role in the globalized society. In order to know each other better, people from all over the world have tried a verity of ways. Of course, translation is one of them. All translators have done their best to make the translated works more consistent with the needs of people.(Gu Jinming, 1997) From my perspective, they really have done a great job. And I want to retrospect the cause of their development. After a thorough evaluation, I choose a branch of translation—ellipsis in translation from English to Chinese, then I did the following jobs.
I put all my researches and other stuffs together, and then I found that it is a common case in English and Chinese which draws much academic interest. In 1976, Halliday and Hsan classified ellipsis into nominal, verbal and clausal ellipsis. This classification exerts great influence in academic circle. Thereafter, ellipsis in Chinese and English has been studied according to this theory, which is based on different layers of structure. This kind of study underlines differentiations and similarities of ellipsis in Chinese and English.
Another famous theory to explain ellipsis is Economy Principle. Economy Principle was put forward by Chomsky (1991,1993, and 1995) in his Generate Crammer. It maintains that language and linguistic study follow Economy Principle, which means using the least effort to express the most information. This principle just coincides with ellipsis in function.
In this thesis, I think that brevity is the most obvious and common function of ellipsis, especially in daily language. And in both English and Chinese, people advocate brevity. Shakespeare once remarked, “brevity is the soul of wit”, and in Chinese there are numerous idioms like “yan jian yi gai” (meaning compendious). However, apart from the function of brevity, ellipsis embodies other functions which are also pretty common in the two languages but less noticed.(Hua Xianfa,2002)These functions distribute in both English and Chinese unevenly and represent great colorfulness of language. Exploring other functions of ellipsis and searching for functional recreation in translation will be of much benefit to both English to Chinese and Chinese to English translation.
I found that when Chinese authors try to analyse ellipsis in English to Chinese translation, they always initially put articles in the list. They consider that it is a common phenomenon that Chinese always leave out personal articles. While it is obviously different in English that almost every sentence has a subject, we can see articles fluently. That is because when we translate from English to Chinese, personal articles can be omitted, even though sometimes it may appear once, it can also be omitted if necessary. Furthermore, if the objects can be seen obviously, personal articles should also be omitted. However, it never happens in English. From this point, it is not only allowable but also necessary when we translate personal articles which are objects in sentences into Chinese.
In my point of view, the development of society has in some way has deliberately promoted the way of people’s thinking, translation system has become more and more perfect, people from all over the world have enjoyed the convenience. However, we can not neglect that there are still some problems in this field in China, and we have less influential Chinese translators in the world. Therefore, we still have a long way to go in translation.
III. Feasibility Analysis
This academic paper is a feasible project and the reasons are as follows:
have great interests in the way of English-Chinese translation.
have already studied translation methods and have been familiar with the functions and applications of ellipsis .
have collected enough references both Chinese and Western on ellipsis in
translation and do a scrupulous study of the relationship between them.
have a carefully planned schedule and have worked out a detailed outline of this thesis.
have acquainted myself with the correct format, a clear and complete structure required by the academic paper, and my adequate English competence will enable me to write in fluent and precise English.
instructor is a qualified translator who is familiar with the subject I havechosen.
IV. Problems of the research and solutions

What’s more, owing to the limited ways of getting references in Xinjiang, I will have to make full use of my present resources. Also, this is the first time I have ever written such a serious academic paper. I am therefore a learner and lack the needed training and experience.
2. Solutions
(1) I shall make full use of my already acquired references which come from books, magazines and the Internet as well.
(2) I shall value my own original thoughts and mainly rely on detailed analysis that I have read from the books which have closely idea with my purpose.
(3) When I have difficulties in the writing process, I shall consult my instructor and seek for help.
V. Necessary conditions
1. Our university and school of foreign languages have provided the basic study and research conditions and facilities, including books and journals in the library and reading rooms.

1、选题意义和背景
The progress of economic globalization has greatly hit the social life.
Advertising has become an important way of modern marketing and has attractedmerchants and the company. As people's consciousness worldwide enhances, manyproducts and services of advertising will be translated into other languages forpromotion to explore overseas markets. Advertising, as an effective way ofdisseminating brand information, has penetrated into many aspects of social life, andit plays a bridge role in connection and communication. Since China's accession tothe WTO, its connection with the world gets even closer. More and moreinternational enterprises and product brands come into China's huge market.
Translation of products and services for overseas consumers is not only the functionof promoting consumption, but also the effect of external publicity. In the globalmarket, advertising translation not only brings an opportunity for advertising, butalso has brings the huge challenge. Therefore, mastery of both Chinese and Englishadvertising translation is particularly important.
Skopos theory is the foundation and the core theory of functionalism. Skopostheory holds that the process of the whole translation behavior is determined to thepurpose of translation action, that is, the end justifies the means. The purpose of thetranslation behavior is the core element which determines the translation process.
Advertising translation has a strong purpose. What is more important toadvertising translation is whether translation can convey the purpose of source textand achieve the anticipated target of the source text, so as to attract the attention offoreign customers to induce their consumption desire, eventually to incur purchasebehavior.
2、论文综述/研究基础
1 Advertising Translation Studies in the West.
Advertising translation was mentioned in translation studies for the first time inHurbin's (1972) article “Peut-on traduire la langue de la publicé” (Can OneTranslate the Language of Advertising?)。 At that time, linguistics was the dominanthumanistic discipline, meanwhile, linguistics made translating a code-switchingoperation. Equivalence-based linguistic approaches mainly focus on the source text.
Hurhin argued that for one source text, there are several translations, and thetranslators chose which translation is the most appropriate one. Hurbin also pointedthat if glossaries of advertising language is compiled, this was made easier. So thetranslators will be easy to find the most appropriate equivalent expressions betweenthe source and the target text.
In Candace Seguinot's (1995) article “Translation and Advertising: GoingGlobal in Cultural Functions of Translation”. The main opinion of which is thatacross cultural boundaries, there is an understanding of culture and semioticsappearing in the marketing of goods and services. It goes well beyond both languageand design.
Another representative article “Advertising: a five-stage strategy for translationin Translation” as Intercultural Communication which is edited by C. Nord et al. Thearticle is published by Smith & Klein-Braley (1997)。 In this article, they conduct acontrastive analysis of English and German advertising. Then they developedtaxonomy of strategies for the analysis of advertising translation.
Up to now, the book which maybe the only one published exclusively onadvertisement translation is Translation Practices in International Advertisingwritten by Mathieu Guidere (2001)。 This book mainly talks about various aspects ofadvertising translation in international market and mainly concerns the globaladvertising of multinational companies, because they need to translate their productsinformation into other languages. The author analyzes some examples in advertisingtranslation and he shows readers some essential problems in current translation ideas.
This book introduced the strategies of translation which are implemented by the multinational firms to break into new markets.
2 Advertising Translation Studies in China.
Domestic advertising translation studies officially started in 1990s. In terms ofresearch contents, the initial studies mainly focused on the discussion about specificadvertising translation of idioms and the existing problems in Chinese-Englishadvertising translation. That was the primary stage. Years later, advertisingtranslation principle and criteria became the research themes. People hold the viewthat, advertising translation should give attention to in many aspects, such as text,language beauty, consumer psychology. Researchers illustrated their respectivepoints of view from different angles. Since the late 90s, although the discussion oftranslation principle and criteria were still mentioned, the researchers' attention weregradually focused on translation of difficult parts in advertising, such as therhetorical devices, emotional transmission, brand image and trademark reproduction ,etc. In terms of research methods, domestic advertising translation study mainly usesthe inductive method and the case study. Nevertheless, in recent years, researchersbegin to use the theory achievements of pragmatics and other related disciplines toanalyze different kinds of problems in advertising translation, and then put forwardsome translation strategies.
As early as xx, Li Fan proposed the development of the advertising languageposed a severe challenge to advertising translation. The artful advertisings require thetranslator to break hard the tradition of the original, boldly innovate, and improve thequality of translation. There are three reasons for flexible advertising translation: 1)the purpose of advertising is to induce consumer to purchase products. Text is justmeans, so translations do not have to stick to the text equivalent; 2) the feature ofadvertising language is vivid, which is the essence of advertising language. If thetranslation is not bold to change, there will be no magic translation; 3) formulaicexpressions are common use in advertising, if not alternative, it may be translatedinto foreign stereotyped writing (黎凡 xx:29-31)。 At the same time, researchersthought in terms of some specific advertisements, flexible translation seems to be theonly way, especially in the four kinds of advertising: 1) advertising used of witty and polished words; 2) advertising used of brand name; 3) advertising used of puns; 4)advertising with strong national culture color.
In order to achieve concise expression, attract more readers' attention, facilitatereaders recognize and remember, advertising writing should follow the KISSprinciple, namely, “keep it short and sweet” (郭可 1992:57-64)。 A great number ofstudies on advertising translation are associated with concise problem. Ding Shude isdedicated to his studies. He holds that: 1) Chinese advertising often uses modifiers toemphasis, product characteristics, while English advertising is simple words, mainlywith oral type. a lot of subject-predicative phrases in Chinese can be directlytranslated into adjectives English , such as 速度快、效率高、行动灵活 can betranslated into “fast, efficient and handy”; 2) There are a large number of the fourwords in Chinese advertising structure, which bring parallelism and overlapping tostrengthen language, but there is no such characteristic in English. InChinese-English translation should hold the center, around the center word leads toall aspects; 3) there are often loose sentences, which express a large amount ofinformation in Chinese advertising. Translation should be concise and compact,strengthen the logic; 4) Chinese advertising commonly uses formulaic expressions.
Translation should be fascinating, considering the overall rhetorical, but not stackrhetoric. Good English advertising language is not many words, but it is impressive(丁树德 xx: 42-43)。 Cao Shunfa also takes a large number of examples of bothEnglish-Chinese translation two aspects show that based on the principle of simple,the translation of advertising language should strive to use the most simple languageto express the most complex meaning, to make it easy to be remembered (曹顺发xx: 43-45)。
Equivalence theory is based on Nida's equivalence translation theory. On thisbasis, some researchers point out that commercial advertising translation is mainlyon the equivalence of semantic, social and cultural, and stylistic aspect. 1) Thesemantic equivalence. This is the most basic and important equivalence. From wordto chapter, in order to achieve the semantic equivalence, the first thing to thetranslator is that he must determine the meaning of the translation unit in context.
