  • Conservation in China Issue, Spring 2016
    SPRING 2016 CONSERVATION IN CHINA A Note from the Director For over twenty-five years, it has been the Getty Conservation Institute’s great privilege to work with colleagues in China engaged in the conservation of cultural heritage. During this quarter century and more of professional engagement, China has undergone tremendous changes in its social, economic, and cultural life—changes that have included significant advance- ments in the conservation field. In this period of transformation, many Chinese cultural heritage institutions and organizations have striven to establish clear priorities and to engage in significant projects designed to further conservation and management of their nation’s extraordinary cultural resources. We at the GCI have admiration and respect for both the progress and the vision represented in these efforts and are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage in China. The contents of this edition of Conservation Perspectives are a reflection of our activities in China and of the evolution of policies and methods in the work of Chinese conservation professionals and organizations. The feature article offers Photo: Anna Flavin, GCI a concise view of GCI involvement in several long-term conservation projects in China. Authored by Neville Agnew, Martha Demas, and Lorinda Wong— members of the Institute’s China team—the article describes Institute work at sites across the country, including the Imperial Mountain Resort at Chengde, the Yungang Grottoes, and, most extensively, the Mogao Grottoes. Integrated with much of this work has been our participation in the development of the China Principles, a set of national guide- lines for cultural heritage conservation and management that respect and reflect Chinese traditions and approaches to conservation.

  • On Chinese-To-English Tourism Translation from Perspective of German Functionalist Translation Theory Jiao-Yan YANG and Xue PENG
    2017 3rd International Conference on Humanity and Social Science (ICHSS 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-529-2 On Chinese-to-English Tourism Translation from Perspective of German Functionalist Translation Theory Jiao-yan YANG and Xue PENG School of Humanities, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China Keywords: Chinese-to-English Tourism Translation, German Functionalist Translation Theory, Purpose, Function. Abstract. This article classifies tourism translation and puts forward the appropriate translation principles and strategies on the basis of their respective purpose and functions under the guidance of German Functionalism. Introduction The mysterious Chinese culture, the abundant natural resources, the glamorous natural sceneries, and the various delicious foods attract numerous tourists from all over the world, which has contributed to Chinese economic prosperity and made the tourism culture translation of great importance. Culture plays a central part in tourism attraction, which is not only the priority, but also a sticky issue to tackle in the tourism translation. Despite the prosperity of Chinese tourism, there still exist considerable errors and mistakes in tourism translations, which often mislead foreign tourists, and deprive the tourists of their full enjoyment and appreciation of Chinese culture and gorgeous sceneries. As a result, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive systematic research on the translation of tourism culture although German functionalism has long been introduced as a theoretical guide to the study of tourism translation, for it is rare to study the tourism translation systematically. Consequently, this article classifies tourism culture translation and puts forward the appropriate translation principles and strategies on the level of words, sentences and texts on the basis of their respective purpose and functions under the guide of German Functionalism.
