  • A Survey on Foreign Tourists' English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, October 2019, Vol. 9, No. 10, 1056-1060 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2019.10.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Survey on Foreign Tourists’ English Translation of Guangdong Tourism Images CHEN Ying-xi South China Business College Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Metaphor, constituting culture as well as inheriting one, is a way that human beings perceive the world. The study of cognitive metaphor theory in translation illustrates the process how the people construct psychological images from one culture to another, from one language to another. A survey on Chinese to English translation has been conducted among foreigners to see their intuitive understandings of some Guangdong tourism images. The results found out three different familiarity levels of these tourism images and the English translations from the viewpoint of the foreigners. Translation can be done without understanding the actual meanings, and understanding can occur without being able to translate. Keyword: foreign tourists, Guangdong tourism images, metaphor, translation Introduction In trans-cultural communication, understanding each other refers to understanding different cultures and their experiences. It is important to realize and respect the differences among backgrounds, cultures, values, and so on. We live in a world of metaphor. Metaphorical imagination is a crucial skill when creating tacit agreements and communicating non-shared experiences (Lakoff & Johnson, 2015, p. 202). Metaphor is a linguistic phenomenon, but more importantly, a thinking mode. When doing translations from one culture to another, the factor of cognition should be considered (Chen, 2019, pp. 26-27, 35). Cognitive Metaphor and Translation Metaphor translation converts the literal meanings from one language to another.

  • Sarasvatī. Riverine Goddess of Knowledge. from the Manuscript
    Marburg Journal of Religion: Volume 14, No. 1 (May 2009) Author: Catherine Ludvik Year: 2007 Title: Sarasvatī. Riverine Goddess of Knowledge. From the Manuscript-carrying Vīṇā-player to the Weapon-wielding Defender of Dharma Series: Brill's Indological Library Publisher: Brill City: Leiden and Boston Number of Pages: xviii + 374 pp, 25 photographic illustrations Price: 170 US$ ISBN: 978 90 04 158146 Review: Sarasvatī is the name of an Indian deity who was taken up into Buddhist tradition and carried along into East Asia as far as Japan, where she is generally known as Benzaiten. In a way, therefore, this impressive book serves two sets of readers, first and foremost Indologists – hence its place in an indological series – but also those who are interested in the wider history of Buddhism or more generally of Asian religions. The later part of the work offers a study of relevant parts of the Buddhist Sutra of Golden Light, of which the Chinese versions represent a major source, even for the Indian developments. While ancient Indian studies are notorious for their uncertainties there is an extreme example here when we read concerning the Ṛg Veda that "Although composed sometime after 1750 B.C.E. … it dates from about the twelfth century B.C.E.." (p.9). Once that typically indological statement has been digested however, the analysis of relevant parts of the Vedas is extremely instructive. Ludvik takes issue with earlier studies (notably by Gonda) and works out a convincing sequence for the initial development of Sarasvatī from the imagery of a flowing river to an identification with "speech" (Vāc), the latter being crucial for the correct performance of ritual.

    The British School of Guangzhou Relocating to Guangzhou Welcome to one of the most populous, energetic and rapidly growing places in China. Estimated to have a population of about 16 million, Guangzhou is a thriving hub where people from all corners of the world converge for everything from business to pleasure. Under the flashy surface of this modern metropolis, lies a rich cultural tradition and a history that spans more than 2200 years. With so much on offer, it is no wonder that families are now choosing to call this city home. Many of our families say that moving to Guangzhou has been one of the most rewarding and fascinating decisions that they have made. If you’re in the midst of considering the big move, here is some handy information that will help you with your decision. Residential Options The majority of expats reside in Tianhe, the most developed downtown area. Several commercial buildings such as Center Plaza (P&G Headquarters), Teem Tower, Citic Plaza and China Shine are located here. This eastern district is also convenient for its proximity to bus, subway and rail links to Guangzhou and the rest of China. Grandview Mall and Teem Mall provide endless shopping options for families. Tianhe is home to several expat-friendly compounds such as Fraser Suites, Regal Court, Hilton Sunshine, Greenery, Favorview Palace, Concordia, Castle Peak and Citic Apartments, and luxury five star hotels like the Sheraton, Sofitel and Westin.
